Minutemen Get Dramatic 6-5 Triumph
Minuteman Stadium played host to some dramatic action.

The Boston Minutemen had to overcome a fine effort from Chicago pitcher Jim Carter to win, 6-5, at Minuteman Stadium. Carter went 8.1 innings and allowed 4 runs. The 6th-place Minutemen are now 29-36, the Chiefs 37-28.

The Minutemen were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when pinch hitter Rudy Ellison turned a 0-1 fastball from Ernie Espanoza into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent a roar through the crowd and gave Boston a thrilling 6-5 win.

Ellison said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
