Carrs Tribe Falters in Two Overtime Losses
Joe Kelly reports Indianapolis battles Toledo in back to back tenth inning defeats. Hardgrove took the loss as Bailey and Freeman delivered the two winning runs for Toledo. Indianapolis tied games earlier through Hayden’s three-base smash and Abbott-driven drives, with Orth pitching well but unable to seal the win. Carr plans a Tuesday departure for Kansas City Vow to start strong, as Higgin’s catching improves the backstop and Howley remains out. Tommy McCarthy may enter this afternoon.
