Pirates Prospect Watch: How The Indianapolis Indians Scored 19(!) Runs
On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League scored 20 points in their 20-20 tie against the Houston Texans.
Also on Sunday, the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians scored just one less tally than the team they share a city with, finishing with 19 runs in its win over the Omaha Storm Chasers.
The Indians racked up 17 hits, leading to a big day at the plate for many in the lineup.
Here is a rundown of the top performers from Indianapolis and Double-A Altoona. High-A Greensboro and Low-A Bradenton both had their games postponed.
