Rollers Take Down Black Kings, 6-5
Pittsburgh shortstop Lanky Spencer played a vital role in his team's 6-5 conquest of New York. He went 4-5 with a triple and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs for Pittsburgh. The first-place Rollers have a one-game lead in their division.

Earl Mantell was the walk-off hero for Pittsburgh. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Rollers pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Spencer said, postgame.
