Chiefs Clipped, 5-4
The Boston Minutemen overcame a big game from Chicago left fielder Joe Siniscalchi to pick up a win at Minuteman Stadium. The final score was 5-4, Boston, in 10 innings. Siniscalchi was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The second-place Minutemen go to 52-41.

In the bottom of the tenth, Jim Morton knew he could end it with one good swing of the bat. And he did, hitting a run-scoring single off Chicago pitcher John Thomas.

Morton said afterward that "winning is the goal."
