Industrials Win, 7-3, at Brooklyn
The Pittsburgh Industrials picked up a win at Flatbush Park, knocking off the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 7-3. Starting pitcher Jerry Zaruba was a big reason why. Zaruba, now 16-4, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 10 hits, while striking out 4, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs. Pittsburgh goes to 64-47, Brooklyn to 54-58.

Pittsburgh used the hitting of Keith MacPherson to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Industrials on top, 2-1. For the game, MacPherson had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Sometimes it sounds simple, but you have to go out there and pitch and execute," said Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker. "Jerry pitched his heart out."
