The Louisville Bats started the first game of their eight-game homestand and the first of the four-game series against the Rochester Red Wings. With cloudy weather, the crowd of 5, 537 watched as the Bats took the loss, 4-2.

The Red Wings added a run to their lead in the fourth and fifth.

The Bats tried to rally in the sixth as Danny Richar singled on a line drive up the middle past the short stop, scoring Drew Stubbs and making the score 4-2. Louisville would not get any closer.
