Spires Propels Boston to 4-1 Win
The Boston Minutemen picked up a win at Minuteman Stadium, knocking off the Washington Eagles, 4-1. Starting pitcher Ralphie Spires played a key role in the triumph. Boston has now won 4 straight.

Spires, who has sometimes raised the ire of coaches and teammates with his famously lackadaisical work ethic, turned in a spirited effort. The hurler struck out 3 in 9 innings and gave up 1 run.

Spires, who is tied for 7th in the FA in quality starts with 18, moves to 8-11 on the year with 76 strikeouts.

"Ralphie pitched like a champ," said Boston manager Harry Barrell.
