Philadelphia Gets 3-2 Win
Starting pitcher Jim Elliott was a major factor in the 3-2 Philadelphia Keystones triumph over the Pittsburgh Miners. The winner was Elliott. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 1 run. The loser was Mike Blackham. Philadelphia is 5th in the Federal Association with a record of 35-31.

Dick Christian, the 5th overall pick in the 1955 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Christian contributed a 2-run single in the top of the first inning to put Philadelphia up, 2-0.

"I pretty much put my pitches where I wanted to," said Elliott.
