The Pittsburgh Vulcans downed the Louisville Colts, 9-5, the largest share of the credit belonging to second baseman John Clark. On the day, Clark was 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Vulcans. The winner was George Ashe, who threw 154 pitches over 9 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 13 hits. The 6th-place Vulcans have a record of 51-53.

The Vulcans benefited from an error in the top of the sixth inning. Pittsburgh was leading 4-3 when Jasper Kent hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Pittsburgh in front, 6-3.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Kent.
