Dynamos Collect 8-6 Win Over Minutemen
Extra frames were needed to settle this game between the Detroit Dynamos and Boston Minutemen.

The Detroit Dynamos outlasted the Boston Minutemen, 8-6, in 10 innings. Lou Strader played a key role, going 2-for-3 for Detroit. Detroit reliever Bud Dixon was the winner. His record is now 1-6. John Lewis took the loss.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Harvey Van Orden came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Boston pitcher John Lewis, he hit a first pitch sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 6-5.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Strader.

Detroit is 67-64 and Boston, with the loss, 48-79.
