Boston picked up a win at Eclipse Park II, toppling the Louisville Colonels, 9-3. Pitcher George Meakim was one of the reasons the Reds triumphed. The third-place Reds have won 4 straight.

Boston center fielder Scott Stratton had a key at-bat for the Reds in the top of the fifth inning. Facing right-hander Mike Jones, Stratton hit a 2-run single. It put Boston in front, 6-1. For the day, Stratton went 2-5 with a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2.

"I still think this team can play even better," Meakim told the Boston Times.
