The Detroit Dynamos locked up a win at Thompson Field, knocking off the Los Angeles Suns, 8-2. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Earl Shields. He played a major role in the triumph. The win puts Detroit at 28-16 this season.

Shields contributed a big hit, a 2-run double, for Detroit in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 2-1, Shields took a sinker from Grant Davis and stroked the double to right-center. His 2nd double of the season allowed the Dynamos to leap in front, 3-2.

"I was just taking it batter by batter, just enjoying the moment," said Shields.
