Terriers Win at Home, 5-1
Starting pitcher Bruce Shurtleff was a major factor in the 5-1 Boston Terriers triumph over the Chicago Hawks. Shurtleff got the win, improving to 2-2. He gave up 9 hits and walked 1 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. Today's win puts Boston at 15-20, while Chicago falls to 16-20.

The Hawks had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Terriers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old right fielder Quinton Henderson came to the plate. Henderson hit a run-scoring triple on a 1-0 changeup from Chicago hurler Ken Eldridge. It was Henderson's 3rd triple of the year.

Boston manager Phil Palapa commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."
