Cumberland Valley at Delaware Valley
Amish run over Minutemen
A five-run first inning propelled the Amish Men to an 8-5 win over East-leading Delaware Valley.
Eddie Plank (HOF) worked into the eighth inning for the win, allowing five runs, four earned, on six hits. Plank (3-7) also walked six and struck out four. Jim Todd (1975 OAK) went the last two frames for his fourth save.
Cumberland Valley smacked Bobby Shantz (1952 PHA) around for five runs on six hits in the first inning. Shantz (8-6) has lost four of his last five starts.
Tom Brookens (1980 DET) hit a three-run homer and finished 3 for 5. Tom Herr (1985 SLN) was 3 for 5, three runs scored and a home run, and Jimmy Sheckard (1901 BRO) was also 3 for 5. The Amish outhit the Minutemen 15-8.
Lew Richie (1906 PHN) went five innings for the Minutemen and Herb Pennock (HOF) pitched three innings of relief. They combined to allow three runs, one earned, on nine hits.

Furillo homers to win in 16th

Carl Furillo (1953 BRO) went deep in the top of the 16th inning and LeHigh Valley edged the Indians 5-4 in the second longest game of the season in the Keystone State League.
This was certainly a crazy looking game with not a lot of hitting, a bunch of errors and walks, that added up to a real barn burner. The Industrialists scored three unearned runs in the top of the first inning. The Tribe chipped away and led 4-3 in the ninth inning. A two-out triple by Al Spangler (1964 HOU) tied the game.
Both teams saw some great relief pitching to send the game into the night. Rich DeLucia (1995 SLN) threw four innings and Curly Ogden (1925 WAS) went three and got the win for the Industrialists. The two relievers combined to allow three hits and one walk in seven innings.
For the Tribe it was Brian Holton (1988 LAD) giving up the tying run in the ninth. He went five innings, allowing one run on three hits. Curt Leskanic (1995 COL) pitched four innings and gave up the one run on three hits to take the loss. The home run was the first given up by Leskanic this season in 26 2/3 innings.
Tom Matchick (1969 DET) lined into a triple play in the top of the 15th inning.
Charlie Wagner (1941 BOA) started for LeHigh Valley and went nine innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and five walks. Tim Conroy (1983 OAK) threw the first seven innings for the Indians and allowed three unearned runs, five hits, five walks and struck out six in seven innings.
Furillo finished the game 3 for 8. Bill McKenchnie (1914 IND FL) went 3 for 6 for Allegheny. LeHigh left 15 men on base and Allegheny stranded 11.
Terry Matchick hit into a triple play in the 15th inning.

In a well-pitched ballgame on both sides a home run by Frank Thomas (1954 PIT) put Pittsburgh on top for good in a 3-1 victory over the Laurel Highlanders.
The Pirates are rolling on an eight-game winning streak while the Highlanders have now lost four straight and fall five games behind the Bucs in the West.
Frank Smith (1909 CHA) took charge on the mound, going eight innings and surrendering just one run on a sacrifice fly by Barney McCosky (1941 DET) in the sixth. Smith (8-8) permited just six hits, walked one and struck out one, bringing his ERA down to 2.41. Smith has won three straight starts, giving up two runs the last 25 innings, and five of his last six decisions.
Johnny Miljus (1927 PIT) handled the ninth for his 13th save. Miljus hadn't pitched in a week and has recorded the save in his last six outings.
Bob Moose (1968 PIT) worked hard against his former team. Moose (4-6) fought his way through 7 2/3 innings, giving up 12 hits, one walk, and struck out a season-high 10. Moose has dropped his last two starts and is 1-5 his last six decisions. This is also the third time he allowed 12 hits in a game.
Pittsburgh got on the board in the bottom of the second with singles by Hank Sauer (1954 CUB) and Thomas and a sac fly by Buddy Bell (HER).
The Pirates had two men on in the fourth with singles by Glenn Beckert (1971 CUB) and Bell but didn't score. The fifth saw the Highlanders threaten with a single by Charlie Hickman (1902 CLE) and Ken Griffey Sr. (1977 CIN) but Rich Rollins (1964 MIN) hit into a double play. In the bottom of the frame Scoops Carey (1902 WAS) singled and Honus Wagner (HOF) doubled with one out but Moose got out of the jam.
Ed Abbaticchio (1903 BON) walked, went to third on Lou Klimchock's (1969 CLE) base hit and scored on a fly ball by McCosky to tie the game 1-1 in the sixth. Thomas homered in the bottom of the inning, his fourth consecutive day with a dinger and fifth in that span, to take a 2-1 lead.
Wagner tripled in the seventh and Beckert brought him home with a base hit for an insurance run. Pittsburgh put two men on in the eighth with two out but Bobby Locke (1960 CLE) left them there.
Miljus allowed a single to Hickman in the ninth but that was it.

Jack Rowan (1910 CIN) pitched a complete game and Fort McIntosh squashed the Mudpuppies 7-3.
Rowan (6-5) gave up three runs on seven hits and struck out seven in going the distance. Rowan has won six of his last seven starts and this was his third complete game.
Jack Clark (1987 SLN) hit his 11th home run of the year with Baldy Louden (1914 BUF FL) and Pete Suder (1949 PHA) each adding two RBI.
Bill Carrick (1901 WAS) took the loss. A five-run third inning put Erie down 5-1. Carrick (2-8) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks in three innings. Carrick has lost three straight and six of his last seven starts.

A sacrifice fly by Mike Mowrey (1910 SLN) was the difference in a 6-5 win for Turkey Island over Elk County in 12 innings.
The game started with Bob Shawkey (1916 NYY) giving up three unearned runs on four hits and leaving the game with an injury in the fifth. Unlikely heroes was the theme of the day as Jimmy Sebring (1903 PIT) had a double, triple and two RBI for the Outdoorsmen, but is only hitting .171 for the season. Turkey Island's Otto Knabe (1914 BAL FL) hit a three-run homer, his second of the year, that tied the game 3-3. Knabe is batting a mere .169 on the year.
Rip Collins (1934 SLN) had a home run and tripled to lead off the bottom of the 12th and scored to win the game on the sac fly.
Joe Klink (1990 OAK) went one inning for his first win of the season. Doug Brocail (1998 DET) gave up one run on five hits in four innings for the loss.
