Both teams had their chances, but the Minneapolis Millers eventually prevailed.

Led by Bill Barber, the Minneapolis Millers defeated the Boston Minutemen, 8-7. Barber went 2-5 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Millers. Ben Baird claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 11-4.

Minneapolis needed the clutch hitting of Gene Holbrook to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Millers on top, 8-7. For the game, Holbrook had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said Dode Edwards, the Boston manager.

The slumping Minutemen have lost 6 straight.
