Morrison, Dynamos Beat Minutemen, 9-2
No one was more impactful than Bill Morrison in the 9-2 Detroit win over Boston. Morrison, who finished 3rd in the FA in doubles with 36 in 1961, went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Earl Shields, who is tied for 3rd in the FA in wins with 11, was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts. Detroit, at 62-27, is 4½ games up in the Federal Association.

With Detroit leading 4-2 in the bottom of the eighth, Morrison hit a curveball from Fred McKnight for a bases-clearing double. It was his 12th double of the season and put the Dynamos ahead, 7-2.

"Pleased with the effort and the win," said Dynamos manager Verlin Alexander.
