  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Detroit Dynamos (58-42) 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 6 7 9 2
Minneapolis Millers (38-62) 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 5 10 0
Millers Fall to Dynamos Late
The Dynamos grabbed a win, 7-5, at Hennepin County Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from Minneapolis pitcher Don Hillshire. Hillshire went 8 innings and allowed 4 runs. Jim Norris, the winning pitcher, improved to 15-4. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 10 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 3. Detroit is now 58-42.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 1961 Kellogg Award winner Ray Waggoner. Waggoner had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dynamos ahead, 7-5. For the game, Waggoner had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Waggoner.
