Dynamos Win, Lucas goes 4-for-5
Jack Lucas was a major contributor to the 14-7 Detroit win over Minneapolis. The Dynamos third baseman went 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. Picking up the win was Carl Hoffman. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits. The right--hander struck out 2 and walked 3. Bill Medley earned save number 2 this season.

Dave Black was a prime contributor to the Detroit win. He was 3 for 5 with a triple and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. In the bottom of the fourth with one out, the 29-year old left fielder hit a 2-run single. It made the score 5-1, in favor of the Dynamos.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Lucas told a Detroit Herald reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."

At 58-96, the Dynamos are currently last in the Federal Association West.
