Cannonballs coming: Only Altoona in playoffs as regular season ends

— Indianapolis (73-67) finished with a 4-0 shutout of Louisville. Tyler Eppler made his last argument for a roster spot, throwing seven innings with just three hits and a walk allowed. He fanned six. Casey Sadler and Montana DuRapau each pitched an inning to close it out. The offense all came on home runs, a solo shot by Wyatt Mathisen and a three-run homer by Erich Weiss. The homers were Mathisen’s ninth and Weiss’ fifth. Mathisen went 3-4, Jason Martin 1-5 and Max Moroff 0-4 with three strikeouts.

— Altoona (78-60), having clinched its division, would probably prefer to forget its 17-6 loss to Bowie.
