Industrials Deal Knickerbockers 15-6 Loss
Thanks in large part to catcher Earl Yates, the Pittsburgh Industrials beat the New York Knickerbockers, 15-6. Yates was 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Jerry Zaruba, who leads the NBL in complete games with 13, was the winner. He's now 17-4. The loser was Danny Abril. The second-place Industrials have won 4 in a row.

Garry Schon helped out the Pittsburgh cause in the top of the fourth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the second baseman went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker.
