Stuner got the win, allowing four hits, striking out two and walking none. Offensively, Gilman had 10 hits, including three from Mann and two from Chaplinski.

The Pirates struck for three runs in the first inning, with Kroeplin’s RBI double being the big hit. Mann and Chaplinski led off the third with doubles. Both scored as Rosemeyer came through with a single later in the inning to make it 5-1.
