With Late Score, Dynamos Beat Minutemen
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. The winner was Detroit reliever Kirby Brewer, now 1-1. The loser was Merton Myers. The loss puts Boston at 5-4.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Detroit. That's when Pat Petty, who finished 3rd in the CA in runs with 97 in 1948, hit a run-scoring double off Merton Myers to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Petty said in his postgame press conference.
