Gothams Win at Pittsburgh, 9-5
Jim Harper helped his team muscle past the Pittsburgh Miners, 9-5. In the game, the New York shortstop was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 times. The winning pitcher was Buddy Long. He tossed 141 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 5 runs on 13 hits. The win elevated the Gothams to 24-17.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jack Kintner? The New York right fielder had a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put the Gothams on top, 4-0. For the game, Kintner had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

In postgame remarks, Harper said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."
