Barons 12-7 Losers to Pittsburgh
Ed Gwinn led Pittsburgh to a win over New York. The final score was 12-7. Gwinn collected 2 RBI, while going 4 for 5 at the plate. The right fielder also scored 2 times. George Ashe was the winner. He's now 11-16. The loser was 19-year old left-handed pitcher Tom Samples. By defeating New York, the 4th-place Vulcans improved to 46-54.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the seventh, with the game tied, Elvin Baum was at the plate when Pittsburgh scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Vulcans to go in front, 7-6.

"Winning is the only objective," said Baum after the game.
