Pittsburgh Upended, 5-2, by Brooklyn
Brooklyn parlayed a decent outing from starter Damon Rutherford into a solid win over the Pittsburgh Industrials. The final score was 5-2. Rutherford, who is tied for 2nd in the NBL in complete games with 13, went the distance for Brooklyn. He gave up 2 runs on 8 hits. Pittsburgh has now lost 4 consecutive games.

Brooklyn took a 2-1 lead on Billy Jo Anderson's 4th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Anderson hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Pittsburgh pitcher Dennis Visco visibly frustrated.

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