Ambassadors Rally For Late Win Over Black Aces
The Pittsburgh Ambassadors faced a tough opponent in Houston pitcher Arlie Pond, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Aces Pavillion by a final score of 7-4. Pond went 5 innings and allowed 1 run. Pittsburgh reliever Lynn Brenton got the win, raising his record to 1-1. Sean Doolittle was tagged with the loss. Clay Bryant saved it for Pittsburgh.

There were several reasons the Ambassadors beat the Black Aces, but one factor was A J Pierzynski. In the top of the ninth, the Pittsburgh catcher came to bat and hit a 2-run double. It staked his team to a 5-4 lead.

"Enjoyed this one," Pierzynski told the Pittsburgh News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The win brings the Ambassadors to 11-16, an inauspicious start for a team that made the playoffs last season.
