Vulcans Rally For 5-4 Win
Pittsburgh right-hander Andy Christenson pitched his team to victory over the Indianapolis Westerners at Vulcan Grounds. The final score was 5-4. Christenson got the win, improving to 12-19. He gave up 7 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. He allowed 4 runs. After today's action, Pittsburgh sits at 52-62; Indianapolis slips to 42-74.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Pittsburgh. That's when Jasper Kent hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Dave Starks to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"It always feels good to go the distance," Christenson said.
