Dynamos Rally to Win
The Detroit Dynamos cut down the Pittsburgh Miners by the score of 14-6, with the largest share of the credit going to shortstop Joe Reed. Reed went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Dynamos. The win belonged to John Herron in relief. His record improves to 2-1. George Kollock took the loss for Pittsburgh. Detroit is now 33-46.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Dick Tucker to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Dynamos on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Confidence breeds confidence, Detroit manager Verlin Alexander said, "and confidence breeds success."
