Kyle Bradish(10-7) absorbed the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 9 hits and 4 walks in 6 and 2/3 innings. 'Everything felt great' Senga said. 'I had a good fastball, I felt I could throw it by everybody tonight.'

Larnach then lost the ball over the fence for three runs resulting in a mighty exciting win for Indianapolis and the 30,186 home town fans in attendance. Indianapolis totaled 10 hits on the night.
