Minutemen Win with Late Rally
The Boston Minutemen did just enough to nip the Chicago Chiefs, 7-6, in 10 innings. Boston center fielder Frank Kirouac, in particular, had a standout performance. The Chiefs fall to 10-14 and continue their sputtering start to the 1963 season.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Boston. That's when Joe Kleman, who finished 2nd in the FA in batting average with .345 in 1960, hit a run-scoring double off Paul Magee to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"It's great when the crowd is energized," Kirouac said.
