Extra-Inning Win by Pirates Over Firebirds
Atlanta (GCL) got a terrific game from center fielder Brad Wright. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Pittsburgh (GCL), 11-7, in 10 innings. Wright went 4-5 with 2 home runs and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 5. The win belonged to Charlie Reed in relief. His record improves to 5-1. Jim Unknown took the loss for Atlanta (GCL). The Pirates, at 15-20, sit in last place in the Northwest Division.

The decisive blow was delivered by Chuck Hicks in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a grand slam home run off 18-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Pittsburgh (GCL). The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd was juiced," said Hicks.
