BigStars Raise Rally Flag, Beat Kittanning, 5-2
The Kittanning Union got a sterling performance from pitcher Gerardo Ventura, but the Austin BigStars still prevailed, 5-2. Ventura threw 6.2 innings allowing 2 runs. Charles Parsons notched his 36th save in 39 chances. The win lifted the Austin record to 64-44.

Bob Jones, the 27-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Jones contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the eighth inning to put Austin up, 3-2.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Jones told the Austin Citizen.
