Miners Get Dramatic 3-2 Win
The Pittsburgh Miners eked out a 3-2 win versus the Washington Eagles at Fitzpatrick Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Jim Kenny. He was terrific. With the win, Pittsburgh elevates its record to 4-1.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 13th inning, when Pittsburgh shortstop Irv Clifford, facing Frank Porter, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Miners the 3-2 win.

"Everybody in here is a professional. You have to do what you have to do," said Kenny.
