Loss to Minutemen Extends St. Louis Losing Streak
The Boston Minutemen beat the St. Louis Pioneers, 7-1. Boston pitcher and Northport, New York, native Ralphie Spires led the way. Spires picked up the win for Boston, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 9 hits. He now sports a record of 2-6. The Pioneers, at 15-32, have lost 6 in a row.

The Minutemen benefited from an error in the top of the third inning. Boston was leading 2-0 when Sam Walker hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Boston in front, 4-0.

"We've had a tough go of it," said St. Louis manager Cliff Everett. "But we'll snap out of this funk."
