Colts Edge Past Browns, 6-5
Getting a good performance from shortstop Mark Vallelunga, the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Cleveland Browns, 6-5. Vallelunga was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times for the Colts. The Browns fall to 13-16 and continue their lackluster start in 2002.

Ethan Martin came through with a big-time hit for Indianapolis. The first baseman smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Good teams find a way to win close games," Vallelunga said.
