Brahmins Use Late Surge to Win
Boston pitcher Peter Gates did his part in helping his team defeat the St. Louis Pilots, 3-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The Brahmins raised their record to 37-58.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ron Whitehead? The Boston first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Brahmins on top, 3-2. For the game, Whitehead had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"You have to win 1-0, 3-2, 2-1 games if you want to get to where you want to go," said Brahmins manager .
