The Pittsburgh Vulcans defeated the Detroit Sturgeons, 11-3, in Federal League action at Riverside Park. Jasper Kent pulled his weight. The 7-year veteran was 3-5 with a triple and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Vulcans move to 38-35 with the win, while the Sturgeons drop to 48-29.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the second. That's when Kent hit a fastball from Bill Poole for a 2-run single, putting Pittsburgh up, 3-1.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Kent told the Pittsburgh Gazette.
