Philadelphia took on Pittsburgh in front of a lively crowd.

Philadelphia pitcher Thomas Goss did his part in helping his team defeat the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 7-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The Unions keep rolling, raising their record to 9-4.

Goss was effective for Philadelphia, seldom allowing the Vulcans to square up a pitch. The right-hander tossed 123 pitches over 9 innings. He limited Pittsburgh to just 2 runs on 3 hits.

"If you beat me, you beat me, if not, good things will happen," said Goss.
