Minutemen Earn 7-4 Win Versus Detroit
Minutemen right fielder Rick Masters left his imprint on his team's 7-4 win over the Detroit Dynamos. Masters went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Boston in the contest. The winning pitcher was two-time All-Star Johnny Duncan. He tossed 103 pitches over 7.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits. With the win, Boston goes to 71-82, while the Dynamos fall to 96-57.

The Dynamos had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Minutemen going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old catcher Sam Walker came to the plate. Walker hit a 2-run double on a first pitch curveball from Detroit hurler Jack Miller. It was Walker's 29th double of the year.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Masters said after the game.
