Indy Eleven News Release
Hamtramck, Mich. - Indy Eleven goalkeeper Eric Dick made five saves in a scoreless first half, but host Detroit City FC scored two goals early in the second to earn a 2-0 win. Dick finished with six saves in the match, one shy of his season-high seven stops vs. Pittsburgh on April 4. He now has 288 in his USL Championship career, good for 20th on the league all-time list.
The Boys in Blue recorded 12 shots in the contest, with Bruno Rendon leading the way with four and Charlie Sharp having two.
Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake moved into third on the franchise all-time list for appearances in all competitions with his 116th, breaking a tie with current Indy Eleven TV analyst Brad Ring.
Defender Paco Craig returned to the lineup after missing the past two matches, playing his 249th USL-C regular-season game. He needs one more to become the 21st player in league history to reach the 250-mark.
Defender Anthony Herbert made his first appearance for the Boys in Blue since May 23 after suffering an injury while on international duty with the Trinidad & Tobago National Team in Russia.
