The Detroit Sturgeons racked up a win at Riverside Park, bumping off the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 4-3. Palmer Cherry, who started for Detroit, pitched effectively for his team. The win makes Detroit 57-41.

Jimmy Hart drove in one run for Detroit. The 28-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off George Ashe. It was his 42nd RBI of the season.

In postgame remarks, Hart hailed his team's "grit."
