Philadelphia Unions (48-65) 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 7 2
Pittsburgh Vulcans (53-62) 0 0 0 0 2 0 4 0 X 6 11 0
Unions Handed 6-2 Loss by Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia on the strength of starting pitcher Andy Christenson's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-2. The 4th-place Vulcans sport a record of 53-62.

Had Jim Frank not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Frank hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Vulcans.

"We're rolling right now," said Frank. "We're playing good baseball."
