Vulcans Drop Unions, 3-2
In a low-scoring game between the Pittsburgh Vulcans and the Philadelphia Unions, pitcher Stanley Lamb was the difference-maker. The Pittsburgh left-hander was tough as nails in the 3-2 Vulcans win. The Unions, at 11-19, have lost 4 in a row.

Pittsburgh third baseman Gary Vankirk helped the Vulcans go up, 3-1, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Vankirk hit a 2-run single off Philadelphia pitcher Paul Bates.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Philadelphia manager said, following the tough loss.
