Boston pitcher John Killion had a large part in his team beating the Cleveland Clippers, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Cleveland now is 8-11.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Paul Trail? The Boston left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put the Brahmins on top, 3-0. For the game, Trail had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Trail said his team "played with a purpose."
