In a well-pitched game between the Boston Minutemen and the Chicago Chiefs, pitcher Johnny Baylor was superb. The Boston right-hander helped his team win, 2-1. Baylor, the winner, moves to 9-5. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 1 walk. Walt Portelli, credited with the save, is now 5 for 7 in save opportunities.

Dick Ward had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the fifth for Boston. With the bases loaded and the Minutemen leading 1-0, he hit a sacrifice fly.

Ward attributed the win to "an all-around good team performance."

Boston is now 53-41, Chicago 40-55.
