Miners Lose 9-3 Decision to Detroit
Detroit Dynamos starter Jim Norris found his groove in his team's 9-3 win over the Pittsburgh Miners. Detroit goes to 64-84, Pittsburgh to 67-82.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ray Waggoner? The Detroit right fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Dynamos on top, 3-1. For the game, Waggoner had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Helping the team win is what it's all about," said Waggoner.
