Johnny Baylor, the winner, is now 10-7. He struck out 2 and walked 1 over 8.1 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 7 hits. The Minutemen saw their record improve to 67-51.

Early in the game, Long had a 3-run home run for Boston. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Minutemen on top, 3-0.

Long said afterward that he was glad to contribute to the win.
