Pittsburgh Hangs 9-3 Loss on Philadelphia
Pittsburgh picked up a win at PNC Park, bumping off the Philadelphia Phalanx, 9-3. Pitcher Andrew Abbott was a major reason the Ironmen emerged victorious. In 7.1 innings, Abbott surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. After today's action, Pittsburgh sits at 59-64; Philadelphia slips to 58-65.

Livan Soto had a big bases-clearing double for the Ironmen in the bottom of the second inning. With Pittsburgh leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a curveball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Jackson Rutledge and swatted a double to right. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Ironmen ahead, 4-0.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Abbott.
