Boston Grabs 2-1 Road Win
In a tight affair between the Boston Minutemen and the Minneapolis Millers, pitcher Richie Thornton was in the zone. The Boston left-hander helped his team win the game, 2-1. The winner was Thornton. He threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Ike Hawley. The defeat makes Minneapolis 10-13.

Buddy Miller, who finished 2nd in the FA in slugging percentage with .563 in 1959, had a direct impact on the outcome. Miller contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Boston up, 2-0.

"It was a good effort all around," said Thornton.
