Industrials Get Clutch Win, 6-5
The Pittsburgh Industrials topped the Cincinnati Packers, 6-5, with third baseman Keith MacPherson playing a big role. MacPherson was 3-4 with 3 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Industrials in the win. Ray Williams, now 1-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 2 innings. The first-place Industrials have won 4 straight.

Pittsburgh got a knockout punch from Johnny Flakes. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

MacPherson described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
