Mechanics Win with Late Rally
The Pittsburgh Mechanics defeated the Boston Beacons, 5-4, in 13 innings in Union League action at Beacon Park. Pittsburgh pitcher Charlie Phipps had a standout performance. Pittsburgh raised its record to 21-18 with the win.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Jasper McNeely came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing Boston pitcher John Hicks, he hit a 1-1 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Pittsburgh on top, 5-4.

Pittsburgh manager Jim Clement was pleased with the team's effort. "It was just a good, gutsy performance by everybody," he said.
