Suns Drop 5-2 Decision
The Detroit Dynamos converted a terrific effort from starter Pat Fortier into a win over the Los Angeles Suns at Thompson Field. The Dynamos won the game by a final score of 5-2. Dick Butler, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save. After today's action, Detroit sits at 36-34, while Los Angeles falls to 41-29.

The Suns had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Dynamos going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old left fielder Pete Dance came to the plate. Dance hit a run-scoring triple on a full count changeup from Los Angeles hurler Heinie Schmidt. It was Dance's 4th triple of the year.

Dance told a Detroit News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
