Dynamos Pull Out Late Win, 6-5
The New York Gothams got a superb performance from center fielder Otto Pilkerton, but the Detroit Dynamos still won the game, 6-5. Pilkerton was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Detroit reliever Earl Shields picked up the win, while Bill Howard took the loss for New York. The Dynamos, now 17-7, have hit the ground running this season.

The Dynamos beat the Gothams in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Lew Mercer produced in the bottom of the eighth. Batting against Howard, Mercer gave his team the lead, 6-5, when he hit a run-scoring single.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Mercer said after the game.
