Miners Sneak By Dynamos, 6-5
The Pittsburgh Miners defeated the Detroit Dynamos, 6-5. Doing his part was shortstop Irv Clifford, who was 2 for 5 with a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Pittsburgh is now 55-69, Detroit 62-64.

Jeep Erickson was the walk-off hero for Pittsburgh. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Miners first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Clifford told the Pittsburgh Times.
