Both teams were tied at 5 runs apiece after nine innings. Boston came out on top in the 10th inning. After two were out Al Zarilla blasted a solo shot. Boston totaled 9 hits on the night. Nels Potter(5-2) allowed no runs in 2 innings, and picked up the victory. The losing pitcher was Spec Shea(2-3) in relief. Wth the win Boston now has a record of a league leading 59-23. New York will hope that this loss is only a 'blip' on their recent 8-2 run - and not a start of a new trend.
