Taylor Delivers Walk-Off Win for Dynamos
The Detroit Dynamos racked up a win at Thompson Field, bumping off the Boston Minutemen, 5-4, in 11 innings. Jack Williams, who started for Detroit, pitched effectively for his team. Pedro Castro earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 5-0. Boston has now lost 5 straight.

The Dynamos got a clutch hit from center fielder Geoff Taylor. In the bottom of the 11th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Dynamos.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Williams.
