Suns Fall, 17-5, to Stephens, Minutemen
The Boston Minutemen defeated the Los Angeles Suns, 17-5. First Baseman Willie Stephens deserved a large share of the credit. Stephens slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 3 for the Minutemen. This loss makes it 6 in a row for Los Angeles.

The Minutemen took the lead, 2-1, in the top of the fourth inning. Facing Los Angeles hurler Pete Meissner with no outs, Ed Cole hit a 2-run single.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Boston manager Dode Edwards.
