Johnson hits 2 home runs in Dynamos Win
Riding the 3-hit performance of the four-time Whitney Award winner Ralph Johnson, the Detroit Dynamos defeated the St. Louis Pioneers, 5-2. With the loss, St. Louis falls to 10-19.

Mack Sutton went 1 for 2 with 2 walks for Detroit. The former first round draft pick had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Ollie White. It was his 12th RBI of the season.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Cliff Everett told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
