Juan Padron struggled in the first inning for the second straight start as the first two Pittsburgh batters reached base.

Up next, Campanella continued his clutch hitting and rifled a three-run homer into the left-field bleachers for a 3-0 lead.
Andy Cooper was cruising until the seventh inning when two straight hits put runners at second and third with no outs. Bonnie Serrell was the next hitter and slashed a base hit into left-center plating two and knotting the score at three chasing Cooper from the game.
Relief pitcher Harry Salmon entered in the ninth for the Monarchs clasping to a 4-3 lead. The first man he would face was Campanella. Campy worked the count to 2-2 before getting a pitch he could drive and sending it deep into the bleachers to tie the game once again at four.

GAME RECAP
Garnett Blair pitched a solid eight innings of baseball to pick up his first victory of the season. He escaped an early jam in the third with second and third and no outs but did not give up a run as he effectively changed speeds to keep hitters off balance.
Homestead got on the board in the bottom of the third thanks to a Charles Blackwell solo homerun. Indy took the lead in the top of the sixth thanks to back to back rbi singles by Ernie Banks and Quincy Trouppe.
Homestead came right back in the bottom of the sixth with four runs thanks to two-run homers by John Beckwith and Loius Santop. Indy quickly responded in the top of the seventh plating two runs on Wild Bill Wright’s fifth homer of the season. Wright has homered in three straight games and leads the league.
Homestead tacked on two runs in the bottom of the eighth to go into the ninth with a 7-4 lead. Manager Rube Foster called on Bullet Joe Rogan to come in and close out the game for the Grays. Rogan got the first out but ran into trouble after that giving up a single to Wright and a double to Oscar Charleston putting runners on second and third with one out. Willard Brown followed with a sacrifice fly to close the gap to 7-5 bringing up Rev Cannady as the tying run. Cannady turned on an inside fastball and sent a long drive down the leftfield line towards the wall. Jimmy Lyons raced hard and lunged at the last second pulling in the drive and preserving the win for the Grays.
Blair(1-1) gave Homestead a solid outing. He went 8 innings allowing 8 hits and 3 walks dropping his ERA from 3.52 to 2.30.
Rogan earned his 1st save. William Bell(0-2) was the loser. He allowed 3 homeruns in 5 and 1/3 innings of work.
