Dynamos Lose to Boston, 6-3
The Detroit Dynamos got a superb performance from pitcher Howie French, but the Boston Minutemen still won the game, 6-3. French threw 7.2 innings of 5-hit ball. The winning pitcher was Otey Stevens. He tossed 120 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 10 hits. Picking up the save was Steve Talley. He's now 4 for 8 in save chances.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Steve Talley didn't flinch. With a runner on 2nd and Detroit trailing 4-3, Talley retired Lew Mercer to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Talley, with a wink.

The Minutemen, at 36-47, sit in 8th place in the Federal Association.
