Unions Losers, 5-3, Versus Pittsburgh
Girard Grounds II was the site of a competitive game between the Philadelphia Unions and Pittsburgh Vulcans.

The Pittsburgh Vulcans racked up a win at Girard Grounds II, bumping off the Philadelphia Unions, 5-3. Stanley Lamb, who started for Pittsburgh, pitched effectively for his team. The Vulcans win now puts them at 59-64.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the sixth. That's when Vulcans third baseman Gary Vankirk hit a slider from Jack Malley for a 2-run single. Just like that, Pittsburgh was up, 3-2.

Pittsburgh manager praised his team's "no BS approach."
