Lamb Leads Pittsburgh to 3-1 Win
The Pittsburgh Vulcans got effective pitching from 25-year old left-handed pitcher Stanley Lamb. The 5-foot-7 , 165-pound Lamb muzzled the Detroit offense en route to a win, 3-1, at Riverside Park. The 4th-place Vulcans go to 48-48.

Lamb was effective for Pittsburgh, seldom allowing the Sturgeons to square up a pitch. The left-hander tossed 131 pitches over 9 innings. He limited Detroit to just 1 run on 4 hits.

"That's what we get paid to do, is put up zeroes," said Lamb after the game.
