| Minutemen Handle St. Louis, Snag 5-4 Win | Boston parlayed a decent outing from starter Johnny Hall into a solid win over the St. Louis Pioneers. The final score was 5-4. Boston reliever Walt Portelli was the winner. His record is now 5-3. The losing pitcher was Eddie Davis. Bud Shireman recorded the save for Boston, his 22nd of the season.
With the clubs tied 0-0 in the top of the third and the bases loaded, first baseman Willie Stephens, who is considered the best prospect in baseball by BNN, reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 1 run.
"Felt great, felt really good," said Hall.
With the win, the Minutemen have a record of 72-60. | |
