Dan Frank knocked in 3 runs to help the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates win, 8-6, over the Houston (GCL) Astros. The Pirates go to 20-31 with the win.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Lou McCullough came to bat in the top of the 12th. Facing Houston (GCL) pitcher Gil Jones, he hit a first pitch changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Pittsburgh (GCL) on top, 7-6.

McCullough called getting the win a "good ending to a long game."
