The Dallas Wranglers picked up a win at Atlantic Avenue Grounds, taking down the Boston Terriers, 2-1. Starting pitcher Charlie Sokol was a big reason why. Frank Dunn earned his 30th save in 34 chances. The loss makes Boston 51-74.

The Wranglers got a big at-bat from center fielder Mike Shreve. For the game, Shreve went 1 for 4 with a home run. In the top of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 6th home run of the season gave Dallas a 2-1 lead.

"Makes our job easier," said Shreve, "when our pitchers shut the opposition down."
