| Miners Get One-Run Win at Boston | The Pittsburgh Miners beat the Boston Minutemen, 6-5, in part because of first baseman Frank Selander. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Roy Cole. He tossed 131 pitches over 7.1 innings, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits. With the win, the Miners sit at 22-20.
Pittsburgh used a clutch at-bat from Chuck Draper to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Miners ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
"We take it day by day here," said Selander, "and today was a good one for us."
