The Detroit Dynamos had to overcome a big game from Minneapolis first baseman John Smith to leave Thompson Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-6. Smith went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Reliever Dave Irwin picked up the win. His record improves to 4-0. Bobby Crooks took the loss. The win lifted the Detroit record to 22-12.

Detroit got a knockout punch from Virgil Ewing. The third baseman hammered a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We'll take this win and move on," said Ewing.
