Chicago right fielder Rod Shearer made his presence felt in the 7-4 Chiefs triumph over the Detroit Dynamos. Shearer went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Picking up the win was Al Miller. He went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits. The right--hander struck out 3 and walked 6. Mel Haynes finished the game for Chicago and earned his 1st save.
With Chicago leading 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Shearer hit a sinker from Bob Arman for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Chiefs ahead, 7-1.
"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Shearer.
Chicago, now 6-9, is off to a slow start.
