Pittsburgh Slaps 4-2 Loss on New York
Pittsburgh pitcher Dennis Visco had a large part in his team subduing the New York Knickerbockers, 4-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. Ike Travis was credited with the save, his 27th in 33 tries. Pittsburgh has now won 3 in a row.

Jim Shuman, who is tied for 6th in the NBL with a .571 slugging percentage, helped out the Pittsburgh cause in the bottom of the fifth inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the third baseman drew 3 walks.

Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."
