Industrials Beat Bluebirds, 8-6
The Pittsburgh Industrials weathered an outstanding game by Brooklyn shortstop John Huston to topple the Bluebirds, 8-6. Huston was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was Bob Briggs. He's now 13-8. He went 8 innings, allowing 6 runs on 12 hits for the Industrials. Picking up the save was Ike Travis, his 40th.

Rob Isenbarger was 1 for 5 for Pittsburgh. The four-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring single off Jorge Sandoval. It was his 146th hit of the season.

"We have some nice rhythm to our lineup right now," said Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker.

The National Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Industrials have a record of 84-57.
