Calvin slugs 2 home runs in Los Angeles Win
Bill Calvin powered the Los Angeles Suns to a win over the Detroit Dynamos. The final score was 7-0. The Los Angeles left fielder, who finished 3rd in the FA in slugging percentage with .551 last year, was phenomenal. He stroked 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. Gary Preston, the winner, improved to 2-1. He held the Dynamos to no runs on 5 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 2 and walking 5. The Suns have an impressive 21-12 record.

Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead on Calvin's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run, which he hit off Clarence Reimer in the top of the sixth, propelled Los Angeles to the win.

Afterward, Detroit manager Roger Cleaves said: "Every team has a bad week."
