The Pittsburgh Express saddled the New York Aces with a loss at Express Stadium. The final score was 5-4. Luis Sanchez was 4 for 5, including 3 singles and 1 home run. The Pittsburgh first baseman scored 1 run and drove in 2. Alex Dunlap collected save number 3. The victory makes Pittsburgh 8-11.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Sanchez delivered big-time for Pittsburgh, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Matt Martinson. The game-changing hit put the Express on top, 5-4.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Sanchez told the Pittsburgh Today.
