WEB GEMS- Bot 3rd: Sadie Houck robbed Mike Mansell of a base hit.

Fleury Sullivan pitched a complete game and left fielder Mike Mansell had 2
base hits as the Pittsburgh Alleghenys defeated the Philadelphia Athletics 4
to 3 at Exposition Park.

Sullivan(1-0) gave Pittsburgh a solid outing.  He surrendered 8 hits and 1
walk in 9 innings.  Philadelphia had a chance in the 9th but they came up
short.  

Al Atkinson(1-1) was the loser.  He pitched 8 innings and surrendered just 5
hits and 1 walk. 'You have to give Philadelphia credit, they fought us tough
to the end' Pittsburgh's manager said.  'It could have gone either way, but
I'm glad we pulled out the victory.'
