Jim Norris, who finished 5th in the FA in ERA with 3.38 last year, was locked in. The left-hander led the Detroit Dynamos to a 3-1 win against the St. Louis Pioneers at Pioneer Field III. Norris yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 4, and struck out 5. His record improves to 6-10. Earl Shields locked down his 4th save.

Detroit won the game in part because of Lew Mercer. The catcher ripped a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Dynamos ahead, 2-0. For the game, Mercer had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"You never take a win for granted in this league," said Mercer.

With the win, the Dynamos have a record of 45-58.
