The Boston Minutemen beat the Baltimore Clippers by a score of 7-6. Boston third baseman Jim Wise deserved the lion's share of the credit. Wise was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Minutemen. Augie Hicks claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. His record stands at 1-0. Losses have been few and far between for the Clippers, now 9-4.

Ed Cole chipped in a 2-run home run for Boston in the top of the sixth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"Good teams find a way to win close games," Wise said.
