Boston Downs Minneapolis, 4-2
The Boston Minutemen dealt the Minneapolis Millers a 4-2 loss at Hennepin County Stadium. Jim Morton, who is tied for 4th in the FA in triples with 2, was the star on offense. He was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Bud Shireman earned save number 6 this season. The win has Boston at 15-10.

Boston took a 3-2 lead on Morton's 5th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which he hit off Hank Wagner in the top of the sixth, propelled Boston to the win.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Morton told the Boston Today.
