Minutemen Rally Late to Nip Miners
The Boston Minutemen trumped the Pittsburgh Miners, 8-7, at Minuteman Stadium. Boston shortstop Joe Kleman was terrific. He went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. With the victory, the Minutemen record stands at 62-76.

Bill Van Ness was the walk-off hero for Boston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Minutemen pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Said losing manager Jim Adams Sr.: "'I liked the effort, just not the results."
