Jacksonville Jaguars (27-21) 2 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 6 10 0

Duff Jacks Two Home Runs in 12-6 Pittsburgh Win
Steelers left fielder Butch Duff put his stamp on his team's 12-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Duff was 3-5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for Pittsburgh in the contest. Pittsburgh sits in last place in the American Conference North at 17-31.

The Jaguars had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Steelers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old center fielder Chad Davis came to the plate. Davis hit a 2-run home run on a 0-1 fastball from Jacksonville hurler Ruben Rodriguez. It was Davis's 2nd home run of the year.

Davis told the Pittsburgh Observer: "I'm the straw that stirs the drink."
