Minutemen 6-4 Winners Versus Houston
Ed Cole made an impact in the 6-4 Boston win over Houston. Cole was 2-3 with a double and a walk. The triumph puts Boston at 70-59 for the season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Willie Stephens? The Boston first baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Minutemen on top, 4-0. For the game, Stephens had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Cole.
