| Miners Win 5th Straight, Take Down Gothams, 8-4 | The Pittsburgh Miners picked up a win at Gotham Stadium, dropping the New York Gothams, 8-4. Jimmy Blair, who is tied for 5th in the FA in innings pitched with 162.2, was the difference-maker. Pittsburgh has run its win streak to 5 consecutive.
John Moreland, who finished 3rd in the FA in RBI with 109 in 1961, aided the Pittsburgh cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the fourth. For the game, the shortstop was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI.
"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Moreland told the Pittsburgh Daily News.
