With second baseman Emmitt Shiplack leading the charge, the Bristol Pirates defeated the Johnson City Cardinals, 4-1, at Devault Memorial Stadium. Shiplack, who is tied for 3rd in the APP with a .315 batting average, went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 runs. Steve Russell sewed up the save, his 14th. The Pirates lead the West by 2½ games.

The Pirates got an important contribution from shortstop Clarence George, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a fastball into center for a 2-run triple. It was his 4th triple of the season and put the Pirates ahead, 2-1.

George called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
