Spruill Helps Chiefs Run Win Streak to 6
Chicago shortstop Tom Spruill was a significant contributor in his team's 9-5 triumph over the Boston Minutemen. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 3 for the Chiefs. The winning pitcher was Nate Carr. He tossed 105 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits. Hal Alsip was credited with the save for Chicago, his 6th of the season.

Chicago used the hitting of Tommy Ashton to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Chiefs on top, 2-0. For the game, Ashton had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Helping the team win is what it's all about," said Spruill.

The loss makes Boston 51-41.
