Detroit Beats Houston, 3-1
The Detroit Dynamos earned a close win over the Houston Comets, thanks in part to Joe Jones. The Detroit left-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the FA in wins with 16, played a key role in the 3-1 victory. In 6 innings, Jones surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. The win puts Detroit at 77-72 this season.

Had Bill Austin not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Austin hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Dynamos.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Jones told the Detroit News.
