Pittsburgh Loss Spoils Terrific Game by Torres
Gleyber Torres did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Pittsburgh Ironmen from being beaten, 11-8, to the St Louis Sluggers at Busch Stadium. Torres hit 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. The win went to Bennett Sousa in relief. His record improves to 1-3. Yariel Rodriguez took the loss. St Louis improves to 75-61 with the win. They lead their division by 5 games.

The Ironmen had been locked in a 8-8 tie with the Sluggers going into the bottom of the seventh inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old second baseman Luke Williams came to the plate. Williams hit a 2-run double on a first pitch curveball from Pittsburgh hurler Yariel Rodriguez. It was Williams's 12th double of the year.

"I felt good up there," said Williams. "I saw the ball well."
