Vulcans Walk Off with 7-6 Win
The Pittsburgh Vulcans did just enough to sneak past the New York Excelsiors, 7-6, at Vulcan Grounds. Pittsburgh pitcher Dennis Catchings, in particular, had a standout performance. With the win over New York, the Vulcans improved to 39-30.

In the bottom of the 12th, John Babbitt knew he could end it with one good swing of the bat. And he did, hitting a run-scoring single off New York pitcher Candy Lemmons.

"Dennis was in attack mode," said Pittsburgh manager .
