Penn Leads Steelers to Win
Behind the hitting of Jameson Penn, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, 8-1. Penn was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times for the Steelers. The defeat makes Jacksonville 1-1.

Hideaki Kato was 1-4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Pittsburgh. The 25-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Ivan Lopez. It was his 2nd RBI of the season.

Said losing manager Fred Valdez: "Give the Steelers credit. They played a better game than we did."
