Industrials Use Late Score to Top Bobcats, 4-3
Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Pittsburgh Industrials and Cleveland Bobcats.

The Pittsburgh Industrials snuck past the Cleveland Bobcats, 4-3, in 15 innings. Pittsburgh pitcher John Lonergan, in particular, had a standout performance. Bob Briggs snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 1.2 innings. He's now 3-2 on the season.

Pittsburgh used the timely hitting of Tim Grange to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 15th inning to put the Industrials on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker.

With the win, Pittsburgh raised its record to 81-50.
