| Ambassadors Sneak Past Padres, 4-3 | A good performance from catcher A J Pierzynski helped the Pittsburgh Ambassadors defeat the San Diego Padres, 4-3. Pierzynski was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Ambassadors. Pittsburgh reliever Adam Cimber got the win, raising his record to 3-4. Claude Osteen was tagged with the loss. Clay Bryant, credited with the save, is now 25 for 29 in save opportunities.
The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Pierzynski delivered big-time for Pittsburgh, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off John McMullin. The game-changing hit put the Ambassadors on top, 4-3.
Pierzynski called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
The Ambassadors, now 49-59, have won 5 in a row.
