Dynamos Snatch Late-Game, 2-1 Win
Detroit Dynamos pitcher Jack Williams was all business, helping his team muzzle the Minneapolis Millers, 2-1. Williams went the distance for Detroit. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. The third-place Dynamos have won 5 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Detroit catcher Harvey Van Orden, facing Bob Ciaramella, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Dynamos the 2-1 win.

"We leaned on our pitching tonight," Van Orden said.
