The Detroit Giants beat the San Diego Fleet, 14-8, at Ballpark of Detroit. The Giants got a fine performance from designated hitter Chris Lutz, who went 4-4 with 2 home runs, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. With the victory, the Giants upped their record to 73-64.

The Giants got a big hit from first baseman Angelo Mejia. Facing San Diego pitcher Jimmy Guyton in the bottom of the fifth, Mejia pounded a 3-run home run to center. His 27th home run of the season put the Giants ahead, 13-6.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Mejia, "and then get after it again."
