Vulcans Knock Off Philadelphia, 6-4
Pittsburgh Vulcans starter George Ashe found his groove in his team's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Unions. The win for the Vulcans lifted their record to 20-15.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jasper Kent? The Pittsburgh right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Vulcans on top, 3-0. For the game, Kent had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Kent told the Pittsburgh Gazette. "It's as simple as that."
