Pittsburgh Rallies for 7-5 Victory
Marty Hemenway led Pittsburgh to a win over New York. The final score was 7-5. Hemenway scored 2 times, going 4 for 4. He also knocked in 1 run batted in. Pittsburgh occupies 7th place in the International Association at 40-46.

Pittsburgh used a timely hit from Steve Columbus to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Vulcans ahead, 7-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Columbus told a Pittsburgh News reporter that he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
