The Indianapolis ABCs got a rain-soaked win over the Homestead Grays.

The Indianapolis ABCs topped the Homestead Grays, 11-9, at Forbes Field. Indianapolis third baseman Ed Charles was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. Jack Billingham picked up the save for Indianapolis, his 1st of the year.

With Indianapolis trailing 9-6 in the top of the eighth, Charles hit a fastball from Dave Giusti for a grand slam home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the ABCs ahead, 10-9.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Charles told the Indianapolis Observer.

Indianapolis raised its record to 32-24 with the win.
