Minutemen Saddle Miners with 12-5 Loss
In the 12-5 Boston win over Pittsburgh, the impact of Billy Dalton was substantial. Dalton, who finished 2nd in the FA in OPS with .908 in 1945, went 1 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Alf Keeter got the win, improving to 11-9. He worked 8 innings, giving up 5 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 7. With the win, Boston goes to 55-60, while the Miners fall to 51-65.

Dalton contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Boston in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 3-2, Dalton took a fastball from Adam Grayson and stroked the home run to right. His 11th home run of the season allowed the Minutemen to leap in front, 4-3.

"I like to lead by example," said Dalton. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
