| Boston Wins, Trumping Pittsburgh, 4-2 | Boston pitcher Fred Wilson had a large part in his team subduing the Pittsburgh Mechanics, 4-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Wilson got the win, improving to 12-11. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 8 innings. He allowed 2 runs. John Hicks was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 12 of 12 save opportunities.
Had Dobie Barton delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Barton struck out. The score remained 3-2, Boston, and the Beacons were out of the jam.
The triumph puts Boston at 63-53 for the season.
