Hurons Net 5-3 Win Over Terriers
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Atlantic Avenue Grounds.

Bill John, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1969 draft, was locked in. The right-hander led the Toronto Hurons to a 5-3 win against the Boston Terriers at Atlantic Avenue Grounds. The winner was John. He threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Roger Long. Randy Robins sewed up the save, his 1st.

Toronto left fielder Jack Banes helped the Hurons go up, 2-1, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Banes hit a run-scoring single off Boston pitcher Roger Long.

John called the win "a team effort."

The Hurons, now 2-0, have been playing some good baseball.
