With third baseman Rudy Minton leading the charge, the Philadelphia Keystones defeated the Chicago Chiefs, 12-3, at Whitney Park.

Don Berry had a key at-bat with two out in the top of the second for Philadelphia. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Keystones leading 2-1, he hit a 2-run single.

Said Chicago manager Irv Howard after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
