Walk-Off Seals 79th Victory for Suns
Los Angeles Suns starter Jim Place found his groove in his team's 4-3 win over the Detroit Dynamos. The first-place Suns go to 79-64.

Batting in the bottom of the 11th, 36-year old first baseman Jack Drake had a real shot to win the game. Detroit pitcher Ed South was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Drake hit a run-scoring single. The Suns had a walk-off triumph.

"First place," said Suns manager Jim Coulter. "This is right where we want to be."
