| Minutemen Score 8-2 Win Against Chicago | The Boston Minutemen earned a win at Whitney Park, stopping the Chicago Chiefs, 8-2. Starting pitcher Charlie Roberts played a big role in his team's success. The win gives Boston a record of 17-11.
Boston used a clutch at-bat from Frank Kirouac to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Minutemen ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
Said losing manager Ollie Howard: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
