Red Sox Down Black Yankees, 4-3
Memphis parlayed a decent outing from starter Don Drysdale into a solid win over the New York Black Yankees. The final score was 4-3. Memphis has now won 5 in a row.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ted Williams in the bottom of the 16th when he hit a solo home run off 36-year old left-handed pitcher Rhéal Cormier to win the game for Memphis. The home crowd went nuts.

Said Williams: "It's just one win, but it feels like more when you outlast a tough opponent."
