Led by Dick Tucker, the Detroit Dynamos downed the Boston Minutemen, 11-6. Tucker was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Dynamos. Earl Shields picked up the win, lifting his record to 4-2 on the season. He struck out 2 and walked 3 in 8 innings, while yielding 3 runs. This loss makes it 8 in a row for Boston.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Reed? The Detroit shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Dynamos on top, 5-2. For the game, Reed had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We maximized our offense today," said Detroit skipper Verlin Alexander. "That makes everyone's life easier."
