4-3 Detroit Win Thrills Crowd
The Detroit Dynamos locked up a win at Thompson Field, knocking off the Boston Minutemen, 4-3. On the mound for Detroit was left-hander Jim Norris. He played a major role in the triumph. Detroit reliever Kirby Brewer was the winner. His record is now 3-3. Jerry York took the loss. The Federal Association-leading Dynamos have a record of 72-42.

Detroit got a clutch hit from Mack Sutton. The first baseman socked a 3-run home run in the bottom of the first inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was game-ender.

Norris called getting the win a "good ending to a long game."
