Minutemen Score 9-0 Win Over Millers
The Boston Minutemen defeated the Minneapolis Millers, 9-0, at Minuteman Stadium. Boston was led by top prospect Willie Stephens, who went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs. Ken West earned the win to go to 4-0. He allowed no runs on 4 hits, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts in 5 innings of work. Boston, at 55-41, holds down second place in the Federal Association East.

The Millers had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Minutemen going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old right fielder Jim Morton came to the plate. Morton hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from Minneapolis hurler Pete Jones. It was Morton's 23rd double of the year.

"You never take a win for granted in this league," said Morton.
