Vulcans Suffer 4-2 Road Loss
Louisville beat Pittsburgh on the strength of starting pitcher Ray Ball's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-2. Louisville raised its record to 61-43 with the win.

Joe August could have done more damage. In the top of the ninth, with Pittsburgh trailing 4-1, Pittsburgh had runners on 2nd and 3rd. That's when August hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough. Louisville would go on to win the game.
