Cathedrals Send Michigan State Home with 2-1 Loss
The Pittsburgh Cathedrals claimed a close win over the Michigan State Persians, due in large part to Anthony Walker. The Pittsburgh right-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-1 win. The save went to Ben O'Brien, his 10th this season. The win elevated the Cathedrals to 15-14.

The Persians had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Cathedrals going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 20-year old shortstop Mark Huffman came to the plate. Huffman hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Michigan State hurler Ron Ross. It was Huffman's 8th double of the year.

"Tough loss," said Michigan State manager José Díaz. "But we'll learn from it."
