The Pittsburgh Industrials called upon starter Frank Combs, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the New York Knickerbockers, 6-2. The Knickerbockers, now 57-56, have lost 5 in a row.

The Industrials got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Tim Grange. For the game, Grange went 1 for 1 with a double. He drove in 3 runs. In the bottom of the sixth, with the bases loaded, he stroked a bases-clearing double. His 6th double of the season gave Pittsburgh a 5-2 lead.

In postgame comments, Combs told the Pittsburgh News: "Do people still doubt I give 100 percent?"
