Minutemen Suffer 6-4 Home Loss
No one was more impactful than Frank Kirouac in the 6-4 Boston win over Los Angeles. Kirouac, who is tied for 6th in the FA in bases on balls with 23, went 2-3 with 2 singles and 2 walks. The winning pitcher was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Fred McKnight. He tossed 120 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits. The victory puts Boston at 14-28.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 36-year old third baseman Pat Todd. Todd had a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Minutemen ahead, 5-4. For the game, Todd had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Todd, "one at-bat at a time."
