Good production from catcher Hugo Villanueva helped the Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates topple the Atlanta (GCL) Braves, 6-4. Villanueva was 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Pirates. Pittsburgh (GCL) pitcher Melvin Garcia got the win, upping his record to 1-3. Steve Wentzel got the loss. Gary Chinnici recorded the save, his 5th.

With Pittsburgh (GCL) leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Villanueva hit a run-scoring single off Atlanta (GCL) hurler Steve Wentzel. It was the 8th hit of the season for Villanueva and put his team ahead, 2-0.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," Villanueva said.

Their 16-35 record puts the Pirates last in the Northwest Division.
