Industrials Sneak By Bluebirds, 2-1
Damon Rutherford, who finished 3rd in the NBL in ERA with 2.29 in 1966, pitched well, but the Brooklyn Bluebirds still fell short, losing, 2-1, to the Pittsburgh Industrials at Allegheny Field. The winner was Pittsburgh reliever John Fagan, now 7-4. The loser was Damon Rutherford. Brooklyn, at 80-70, has lost 4 straight.

Pittsburgh took a 2-1 lead on Rob Isenbarger's 9th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Isenbarger hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Brooklyn pitcher Damon Rutherford visibly frustrated.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Isenbarger.
