Baltimore starter Joe McDowell pitched well against the Detroit Dynamos at Patapsco Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-4. The winner was McDowell. He threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Jack Vander Kooi. Charlie Platt nailed down the save.

Hank Wallace, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1969 draft, contributed to the Baltimore win with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the catcher had 3 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"I'm not ready for the old folk's home yet," said McDowell.

With the win over Detroit, the Clippers improved to 66-59.
