| Pittsburgh Topples Baltimore, 7-3 | The Pittsburgh Vulcans picked up a win at Banner Field, downing the Baltimore Bannermen, 7-3. On the mound for Pittsburgh was right-hander Andy Christenson, who played a pivotal role in the win. Christenson yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 17-11. Pittsburgh now sports a record of 44-47.
Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Ned Edwards to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Vulcans on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Andy was bobbing and weaving the whole game," said Pittsburgh manager .
