Vulcans Take Down Provincials, 4-3
George Ward, who is on pace to win 16 games this season, pitched well, but the Toronto Provincials still fell short, losing, 4-3, to the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Garrison Common Grounds. The winning pitcher was Dennis Catchings. He's now 37-22. He went 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 14 hits for the Vulcans. After today's action, Pittsburgh sits at 56-37; Toronto slips to 45-48.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Fletcher Hornback to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Vulcans on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're rolling right now," said Hornback. "We're playing good baseball."
