Vulcans Trump Monarchs, 9-5
The Pittsburgh Vulcans downed the Cincinnati Monarchs, 9-5. The hitting star was third baseman Steve Columbus. Columbus went 2-4 with a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Vulcans. Dennis Catchings picked up the win, improving his season record to 35-22. He struck out 2 in 9 innings. Pittsburgh is now 53-37.

Pittsburgh used a well-timed hit by Louis Hedden to capture the win. The right fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Vulcans ahead, 5-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

In comments to the Pittsburgh Observer, Hedden admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
