Blues Edged by Pirates, 8-4
The Pittsburgh Pirates used the hitting of right fielder Alexander Mendoza to subdue the Memphis Blues, 8-4. For the game, Mendoza was 1-1 with a triple and 3 walks. He scored 2 times. Pittsburgh pitcher Frank McCoy got the win, upping his record to 6-9. Ernie Longie got the loss. Memphis, at 46-84, has lost 5 straight.

Mark Ihrig drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances for Pittsburgh. The 25-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring walk off Walt Schonlebe. It was his 9th walk of the season.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Ihrig told the Pittsburgh Times. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
