Chicago Downed, 5-4, by Dynamos
The Chicago Chiefs could not turn a fine performance from left fielder Andy Ellefsen into a win. Instead, the Detroit Dynamos prevailed, 5-4, in 10 innings. Ellefsen was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Detroit reliever Jack Vander Kooi, now 7-13. The loser was Rip Kimball. Larry Tindall converted his 1st save in 2 tries.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Bill Austin to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Dynamos on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Austin said afterward that "winning, obviously, is the main objective."

The last-place Dynamos go to 52-88.
