Minutemen Deal Eagles 5-1 Loss
The 1974 season did not get off to quite the start the Washington Eagles had hoped, with an opening day loss to the Boston Minutemen at Columbia Stadium. The final score was 5-1. Starting Pitcher Charlie Roberts was the top performer for Boston. Bud Shireman collected his 1st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jim Morton? The Boston right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Minutemen on top, 2-0. For the game, Morton had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Charlie was dictating to their hitters," said Boston manager Dode Edwards.
