We are stuck in a pothole and we aren't making any movement one way or the other. We remain at 11 games back after dropping two
of three with Detroit. A walk-off homer in game two from Gene Rader prevented the Dynamos sweep and gave the 13k fans that
showed up a reason to celebrate. They haven't had much to cheer about over the last month.
Player of the Series
Gene Rader drove in five runs in the three-game series while slapping two doubles and slamming one home run. The home run was the
eighth of the 1962 season for the 27-year-old rookie. "I didn't get a chance to play here the last few years," Rader told reporters, "so now that
I've been given that chance I need to prove I belong."
