Minutemen Cream Eagles, 15-2
The Boston Minutemen pasted the Washington Eagles, 15-2. Boston center fielder Joe Burns had a big game. He was 4 for 6 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Ralphie Spires was the winner. He's now 5-8. The loser was 29-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Haverhill. The Minutemen now own a record of 40-50.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Steve Dunagan? The Boston right fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put the Minutemen on top, 2-0. For the game, Dunagan had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Good hitting and good pitching is a lethal combination," said Burns.
