Miners Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Suns, 7-4
Pittsburgh registered a win at Wilshire Park by beating the Los Angeles Suns, 7-4. Pitcher Pat Simon was one reason why the Miners triumphed. The victory gives Pittsburgh a record of 19-16.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 21-year old second baseman Dixie Turner. Turner had a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Miners ahead, 5-4. For the game, Turner had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Pat is a tough competitor," said Pittsburgh manager Harry Barrell.
