Dynamos Win Thriller, 7-5
The Detroit Dynamos topped the St. Louis Pioneers, 7-5, in Federal Association action at Thompson Field. The standout performance belonged to Detroit pitcher and Sterling, Colorado, native Jack Vander Kooi. The Dynamos raised their record to 16-25.

Harvey Van Orden played the role of hero for Detroit. In the bottom of the tenth, he launched a 2-run home run off Eddie Davis to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was the decisive blow.

"I like to lead by example," said Vander Kooi. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
