Detroit Gets 12-5 Win
The Detroit Dynamos beat the Boston Minutemen by a score of 12-5. Detroit second baseman Dick Tucker deserved the lion's share of the credit. Tucker went 4-5 with 4 singles and a walk. He scored 3 runs for the Dynamos. Jim Norris got the win, improving to 13-3. He worked 5 innings, giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 5. The win elevated the Dynamos to 51-34.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Reed? The Detroit shortstop had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Dynamos on top, 3-0. For the game, Reed had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We hit the ball hard," said Detroit manager Verlin Alexander. "Line drive after line drive."
