The deciding run was scored by Boston in the 9th. Pinky Whitney slapped a single. Whitney took off for second and slid in with a stolen base. Tommy Thompson then laced a base-knock. After an out was recorded, Al Spohrer stepped up to the plate and he drew a walk. Les Mallon came to the plate and reached on an error making Boston the victors to the delight of the home town faithful. Boston managed 11 in their victory. Betts(6-7) got the victory, allowing 5 runs for the game. Ted Kleinhans(2-4) was the loser in relief. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an earned run in his 1 inning of work.
