Vulcans Tack 8-4 Loss on Sturgeons
Vulcans third baseman Jason Foss put his stamp on his team's 8-4 win over the Detroit Sturgeons. Foss was 3-4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Pittsburgh in the contest. George Ashe went 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 11 hits. The right-hander, who finished 2nd in the IA in stolen bases with 35 in 1885, struck out 1 and walked 1. With the win, he's now 1-5 this season. The Vulcans are off to a tough start, getting just their 10th win in 26 games.

Pittsburgh relied on the bat of Jerry Clay to get the win. The first baseman ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the third inning to put the Vulcans ahead, 2-0. For the game, Clay had 1 double and 1 triple in 5 at-bats.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Foss told the Pittsburgh Bulletin.
