| Cincinnati Tops Boston, 8-2 | The Cincinnati Monarchs racked up a win at Brahmins Grounds, bumping off the Boston Brahmins, 8-2. Ashton Slake, who started for Cincinnati, pitched effectively for his team. The Monarchs go to 59-45, putting them second in the International Association.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Will Bowling? The Cincinnati third baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Monarchs on top, 5-0. For the game, Bowling had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
"I wish every win came this easy," said Bowling.
