The Boston Minutemen topped the Philadelphia Keystones by a score of 13-11. Leading the way was left fielder Dick Ward. Ward was 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for the Minutemen. Johnny Hall picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 7 runs on 6 hits, while walking 5 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 4-3. Richie Thornton recorded his 3rd save for Boston.

Frank Kirouac helped his team jump on top from the get-go. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a run-scoring single to give Boston a 1-0 lead.

Said losing manager Charlie Leist: "These are the grinding hard days that all good teams go through, and this is when we've got to stick together and believe in one another."

The slumping Keystones have dropped 7 in a row.
