Minutemen Rally Late to Clip St. Louis
Dick Ward helped his team muscle past the St. Louis Pioneers, 9-8. In the game, the Boston left fielder went 3 for 5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The win belonged to Richie Thornton in relief. His record improves to 4-2. Roy McDonald took the loss for St. Louis. The win puts Boston at 47-74.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Ward hit a sinker from Roy McDonald for a solo home run. The Minutemen, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"The crowd was raucous," said Ward.
