Vulcans Beat Stars in 10
The Pittsburgh Vulcans beat the Indianapolis Stars, 6-5, in 10 innings. Pittsburgh pitcher and Ironwood, Michigan, native John Babbitt led the way. With the victory, the Vulcans upped their record to 19-16.

It could have been a different outcome for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Paul Trail, the 1882 IA home run champion . Trail contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 6-5.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Trail.
