Minutemen Show Moxy in 6-5 Win
The Boston Minutemen picked up a win at Minuteman Stadium, taking down the Philadelphia Keystones, 6-5. Starting pitcher Max Edwards was a big reason why. Boston reliever Merton Myers picked up the win, upping his record to 3-5. Tony Dixon absorbed the loss. The last-place Keystones dropped to 30-45.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Boston trailing 5-4, Ray Rogan hit a sinker from Tony Dixon to right for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Minutemen had a walk-off win.

"We kept coming at guys," Boston manager Harry Barrell said. "We kept digging."
