Cyclones Triumphant, 4-1, at Vulcan Grounds
Chicago turned a good performance from starting pitcher Harlan Akins into a 4-1 triumph over the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Vulcan Grounds. In 9 innings, Akins surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 5. He allowed 1 run. Chicago is now 68-41, while Pittsburgh is 46-55.

Had Elvin Baum delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Baum flied out. The score remained 3-1, Chicago, and the Cyclones were out of the jam.
