Minutemen Nip Gothams, 6-5
Boston second baseman Marshall Thomas had a 3-RBI game, which was critical to his team beating the New York Gothams, 6-5, in 16 innings. Thomas picked up 4 singles and 1 double in the ballgame. The winner in relief was Lee Woodward. He is now 1-0. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. Boston is now 53-68.

The Minutemen relied on right fielder Rick Masters for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the 16th, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring single to seal the deal.

"We just battled, never quit, and continued to grind out at-bats trying to create some opportunities," said Boston manager Harry Barrell.
