The Minneapolis Millers took on the New York Gothams at Gotham Stadium.

Minneapolis turned a good effort from starter Pete Jones into a win over the New York Gothams at Gotham Stadium. The final score was 4-2. The Millers improved to 24-28.

Minneapolis used the hitting of Rusty Robertson to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Millers on top, 4-0. For the game, Robertson had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said losing manager Charlie Foley: "Not taking anything away from them, but we swung the bats better than what it showed."
