St. Louis Downed, 9-7, by Dynamos
The 9-7 Detroit win over St. Louis was due in large part to Bill Austin. The Dynamos third baseman went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Jack Vander Kooi closed out the game, earning his 1st save. St. Louis is 2-6 after the loss.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Gil Jones came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing St. Louis pitcher Roy McDonald, he hit a 0-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 8-7.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Austin. "It sure beats the alternative."
