Industrials Squeeze By Los Angeles, 3-2
The Pittsburgh Industrials had to overcome a good performance from Los Angeles pitcher Ralph Weintraub to claim a 3-2 win at Allegheny Field. Weintraub went 8 innings and allowed 1 run. Pittsburgh leads the National Baseball League Eastern Division by 4½ games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Tim Grange in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 25-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Benson to win the game for Pittsburgh. The home crowd went nuts.

Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker praised his team's "no BS approach."
