The Detroit Sturgeons and Pittsburgh Vulcans played an exciting game.

The Sturgeons liked what they saw from Poole. The 21-year- old pitcher had a commanding presence on the mound, limiting the Vulcans to 2 runs on 5 hits over 9 innings, and striking out 2.

"The other side took advantage in some key situations," said Pittsburgh manager .
