Though he had a stellar game, Jason Foss could not prevent his team, the Indianapolis Stars, from losing, 7-6, to the Pittsburgh Vulcans. Foss went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. At 40-30, the Vulcans claim second place in the International Association.

The Vulcans got a big hit from pitcher John Babbitt. Facing Indianapolis pitcher Tom Kitts in the bottom of the seventh, Babbitt pounded a run-scoring triple to left-center. His 4th triple of the season put the Vulcans ahead, 7-3.

"I like winning," Babbitt told the Pittsburgh Observer. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
