Behind a fine performance from Frank Kirouac, the Boston Minutemen knocked off the New York Gothams, 7-2. Kirouac went 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Minutemen. The winning pitcher was Hank Springer. His record now stands at 7-8. The right-hander went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits for the Minutemen. The win makes Boston 63-50.

The Minutemen got a lift from catcher Ed Cole, who in the top of the third stroked a 1-1 fastball to center for a 2-run single. It was his 94th hit of the season and put the Minutemen ahead, 5-2.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Cole.
