| Minutemen Come Up Short at Detroit, 7-6 | The Detroit Dynamos beat the Boston Minutemen, 7-6, at Thompson Field. Joe Holland, in particular, was impressive. He went 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Don Lea snagged the win in relief. He goes to 3-2 on the season. Otey Stevens suffered the loss. With the win, Detroit upped its record to 92-57.
Lew Mercer went 1 for 3 with a double for Detroit. The three-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the seventh. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Otey Stevens. It was his 42nd RBI of the season.
"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Holland, "but we got it done."
