| 5 Straight Wins for Dynamos | Cal Page did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the St. Louis Pioneers from being beaten, 6-4, to the Detroit Dynamos at Pioneer Field II. Page was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2. Jim Norris, the winning pitcher, improved to 12-6. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 6. The first-place Dynamos, at 54-36, now lead their division by 2½ games.
Pat Petty provided a timely hit. The Detroit pinch hitter delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dynamos on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.
"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Detroit manager Dick York.
