Colts Down Patriots, 5-4
New England got a terrific game from first baseman Doug Spoo. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Indianapolis, 5-4, in 11 innings. Spoo belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. The winner was Indianapolis reliever Ryan Elkins, now 1-1. The loser was Roberto Velazquez. The defeat makes New England 16-19.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Indianapolis center fielder Matt Woolhouse, facing Roberto Velazquez, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Colts the 5-4 win.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Woolhouse.
