Industrials Win, 8-6, Versus Cleveland
Pittsburgh and Cleveland took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Pittsburgh Industrials weathered an outstanding game by Cleveland left fielder Bill Harper to topple the Bobcats, 8-6. Harper went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win gives Pittsburgh a season record of 85-67.

Pittsburgh used a timely hit from Johnny Flakes to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Industrials ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"I still think this team can play even better," Flakes told the Pittsburgh Chronicle.
