St. Louis Gets Another L
The Detroit Dynamos did just enough to sneak past the St. Louis Pioneers, 4-3, at Thompson Field. Detroit pitcher Wally Hunter, in particular, had a standout performance. Hunter picked up the win for Detroit, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 9-3. Jack Halbur was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 9 of 11 save opportunities.

Del Johnson, who finished 3rd in the FA in hits with 192 in 1948, aided the Detroit cause with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the third. For the game, the second baseman drove in one run.

"Sometimes, you can be too aggressive," said St. Louis manager Cliff Everett. "You need to let the game come to you."

The 'W' lifts Detroit's record to 63-40.
