Dynamos Lose, 10-4, to St. Louis
The St. Louis Pioneers licked the Detroit Dynamos, 10-4. Otis Ballard deserved a big chunk of the credit. The center fielder was 2-3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Pioneers. The loss drops Detroit to 17-13.

Ballard contributed a big hit, a bases-clearing double, for St. Louis in the top of the second. With his team trailing 3-2, Ballard took a slider from Bob Arman and stroked the double to right-center. His 8th double of the season allowed the Pioneers to leap in front, 5-3.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Ballard said.
