Dynamos Win at Pittsburgh, 6-2 | Starting pitcher Howie French took care of business, helping the Detroit Dynamos stifle the Pittsburgh Miners, 6-2. In 9 innings, French surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The victory gives Detroit a record of 23-12.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ray Waggoner? The Detroit first baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put the Dynamos on top, 1-0. For the game, Waggoner had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
"I was determined to go the distance," said French. | |
