Washington starter Bob Ball pitched well against the Boston Minutemen at Columbia Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a win, 7-2. Ball yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 4, and struck out 7. His record improves to 9-7. The Washington win streak is now 4 games.

The game could have flipped with one out in the top of the eighth. But Bob Ball made what his manager later called "an A-plus pitch." With the bases loaded and Boston trailing 7-1, Ball threw a fastball to Joe Kleman, who popped out.
