Millers Score Late to Beat Dynamos, 7-6
A 4-RBI performance from the 12-year veteran Bob Vernon helped the Minneapolis Millers beat the Detroit Dynamos, 7-6. Minneapolis reliever Jimmy Jeter picked up the win, raising his record to 3-0. Beau McClellan was tagged with the loss. The win gives Minneapolis a record of 6-5.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Minneapolis trailing 6-3, Vernon jumped on a changeup from 1962 Allen Award winner Beau McClellan and hit a grand slam home run to left. With one swing, the Millers had a walk-off win.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Vernon said.
