Birmingham Beaten, 7-5, by Indianapolis
The Indianapolis ABCs had to overcome a big game from Birmingham right fielder Hank Aaron to leave Crosley Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 7-5. Aaron belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Indianapolis pitcher Luke Gregerson got the win. He's now 1-0. Bruce Chen was tagged with the loss. Rob Dibble earned the save for Indianapolis, his 5th.

Indianapolis took a 6-5 lead on George Foster's 5th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Foster hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Birmingham pitcher Steve Bedrosian visibly frustrated.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Foster.

The ABCs now have a record of 11-25.
