Miners Rally Late to Clip New York
The Pittsburgh Miners spoiled a good performance by New York left fielder Walt Messer, bumping off New York, 8-7, at Fitzpatrick Park. Messer was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Rex Dziuk picked up the win in relief for Pittsburgh, while John Stallings took the loss. The Miners, at 55-42, sit in second place in the Federal Association.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Pittsburgh. That's when George Darnell hit a run-scoring double off former first round draft pick John Stallings to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Darnell said.
