Monroe Downs Beloit Boosters in See-saw 15-14 Win
Monroe Brewers edged Beloit Boosters 15 to 14 at Recreation Park in a tight see-saw affair. Ed Jordan sparked a late rally with a two run seventh and hit a four-bagger in the fifth. Leo Butts, Bob Guyre and Bill Purcell contributed key hits as Monroe built and held a slim lead before Beloit surged in the sixth. Beloit’s strong first inning and late rally kept it close for a dramatic finish as Monroe moved to its seventh win in eight starts. The Brewers' next schedule includes a Sunday doubleheader with Rockford Athletic Club and a Wednesday tilt with West Allis, then a Friday trip to Platteville.
