Westerners Take Home 4-2 Win Over Pittsburgh
Indianapolis pitcher Wilton Strickland had a large part in his team subduing the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 4-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Strickland, now 4-0, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. With the win, Indianapolis boosts its record to 6-5.

Jim Frank had a chance to be a hero in the top of the eighth inning. With Pittsburgh trailing 3-2, Pittsburgh had the bases empty. But Frank grounded out.
