Philadelphia Downed, 4-2, by Millers
The Minneapolis Millers got a good effort from starter Hank Wagner in defeating the Philadelphia Keystones at Liberty Coliseum. The final score was 4-2. At 66-64, the Millers find themselves in 5th place in the Federal Association West.

Minneapolis used the timely hitting of Larry Herzberg to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Millers on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Hank is good at sticking to his strengths," said Minneapolis manager Bill Bryan.
