Industrials Rally Late to Clip Cleveland
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

Starting pitcher Jerry Zaruba gave the Pittsburgh Industrials a rock-solid effort. The Springfield, Massachusetts native helped his team defeat the Cleveland Bobcats, 3-2, at Allegheny Field. Cleveland has now lost 4 consecutive games.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Pittsburgh center fielder Carlos Chavez, facing Tim Fried, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Industrials the 3-2 win.

"I just tried to attack the bottom of the zone," Zaruba said.
