The Cincinnati Monarchs racked up a win at Queen City Grounds I, bumping off the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 7-6. John Babbitt, who started for Cincinnati, pitched effectively for his team. Babbitt got the win, improving to 15-27. He gave up 9 hits and walked 4 over 9 innings. He allowed 6 runs. After today's action, Cincinnati sits at 40-58; Pittsburgh slips to 43-47.

Frank Lear was the walk-off hero for Cincinnati. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Monarchs left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Lear.
