Dismal Day for Invaders, 15-2 Losers to Detroit
The Detroit Giants clobbered the Oakland Invaders, 15-2, at Ballpark of Detroit. Detroit first baseman Angelo Mejia led the onslaught. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Detroit goes to 68-55. The win puts them 4½ games up in their division.

Ryan Forsythe had a big 2-run home run for the Giants in the bottom of the first inning. With Detroit trailing 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he got a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jaiden Harvey and swatted a home run to center. It was his 28th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Giants ahead, 3-2.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Forsythe. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."
