Minneapolis Millers (43-72) 0 0 0 5 1 0 0 1 0 7 10 2
Boston Minutemen (51-64) 0 0 0 1 0 5 0 0 0 6 9 1
Millers Come Back Late to Top Minutemen, 7-6
Boston first baseman Jack Denis was sensational. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Minneapolis beat the Minutemen, 7-6. Minneapolis reliever Dan Charlton was credited with the win. His record goes to 4-7. Bob Hollister took the loss for Boston. Bobby Crooks notched his 7th save in 12 chances.

Minneapolis used the timely hitting of Johnny Taylor to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Millers on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Taylor told the Minneapolis Bulletin. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."

The victory puts Minneapolis at 43-72.
