Wet weather did not postpone the Cincinnati-Pittsburgh ballgame.

The Cincinnati Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Industrials, 7-5, in National Baseball League action at Roman Arena. Billy Muhammad pulled his weight. The 10-year veteran went 2 for 3 with a triple, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The Packers, with just their 10th win so far in 1973, have yet to catch fire.

Stan Timmons, who is tied for 6th in the NBL in extra base hits with 14, came through for Cincinnati with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fourth. The first baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 3 runs batted in.

"It's a long season," said Muhammad. "We'll keep working to improve."
