Pittsburgh Industrials starter Jerry Zaruba pitched well against the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Flatbush Park, leading his team to a win, 5-3. In 9 innings, Zaruba surrendered 12 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 3 runs. The victory gives Pittsburgh a record of 48-38.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Luis Banda to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Industrials on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete," said Zaruba.
