| Dynamos Paddle Suns, 12-2 | The Detroit Dynamos welcomed the Los Angeles Suns to an afternoon game at Wilshire Park.
The Detroit Dynamos defeated the Los Angeles Suns, 12-2, in part because of second baseman Bill Austin. Austin was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4 for the Dynamos. Detroit goes to 5-0 with the win.
With the game tied, 2-2, in the top of the fifth, Austin had a key at-bat for Detroit. With a runner on 3rd, Austin hit a run-scoring single off Pete Meissner, making the score 3-2, Dynamos.
"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Austin said (again).
