Pittsburgh Miners (69-53) 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 6 12 0

Miners Prevail, 6-4, Over Chicago
Paul Williams was instrumental in his team's 6-4 triumph over the Chicago Chiefs. The right fielder was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times for the Pittsburgh Miners. Pittsburgh starter Charlie Todd was credited with the win after throwing 103 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 12-8. Rex Dziuk earned the save for Pittsburgh, his 9th.

The result might have been different, had it not been for former first round draft pick George Darnell. Darnell had a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put the Miners ahead, 4-3. For the game, Darnell had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Darnell.

The Miners win now puts them at 69-53.
