Caterpillars Net 5-4 Win
The inspired effort of Indianapolis right fielder Tom Ronca was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-4, to the Peoria Caterpillars. Ronca slugged 2 home runs. Chris Schurman picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 4-2. Will Witten, who is tied for 3rd in the TAAA in complete games with 5, was tagged with the loss. The victory gives Peoria a record of 61-54.

Peoria took a 5-4 lead on Joseph Heacock's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Heacock hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Indianapolis pitcher Will Witten visibly frustrated.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Heacock told the Peoria Herald.
