Oakland Gets 7-6 Road Win
Fans watched the Oakland Invaders and the Detroit Giants fight to the finish.

The Oakland Invaders picked up a win at Ballpark of Detroit, knocking off the Detroit Giants, 7-6. On the mound for Oakland was right-hander Isaiah Sanders. He played a key role in the triumph. Oakland is second in the National Conference South Division with a record of 60-63.

Oakland used a clutch at-bat from Steve McKinstry to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Invaders ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," McKinstry told the Oakland Herald.
