Behind a solid performance from left fielder Pete Dance, the Detroit Dynamos defeated the Chicago Chiefs, 12-8. Dance was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the Dynamos. After losing, Chicago is 5-1.

Detroit needed the clutch hitting of Jack Lucas to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Dynamos on top, 7-6. For the game, Lucas had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Lucas, "and then get after it again."
