Suns Jolt Dynamos, 13-6, with Late Rally
Jose Chavez did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Detroit Dynamos from being beaten, 13-6, to the Los Angeles Suns at Thompson Field. Chavez went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 5 runs. The Federal Association West-leading Suns have a record of 83-59.

Los Angeles relied on the bat of Bill Perry to get the win. The second baseman ripped a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Suns ahead, 8-6. For the game, Perry had 1 double and 1 triple in 4 at-bats.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Perry told reporters after the game.
