Minutemen Win, 6-4, Versus Baltimore
Getting offensive support from Jim Wise, the Boston Minutemen topped the Baltimore Clippers, 6-4. Wise went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Minutemen. The winner was Walt Portelli in relief. His record improves to 1-1. George Brown took the loss. Baltimore is now 9-5.

Had Wise not come through in the top of the ninth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Wise hit a 2-run single. The Minutemen took the lead, 6-4, and never looked back.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Boston manager Dode Edwards.
