Wolverines Rack Up 5-3 Win Versus Montreal
The Detroit Wolverines knocked off the Montreal Habitants, 5-3, at Wolverine Field. Gasper Copeland was a big reason Detroit won. The catcher was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Detroit reliever Elmer Bernstein, the 20th overall pick in the 1970 draft, was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-3. Bob Schar took the loss for Montreal. Detroit has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Copeland had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-1 fastball from Bob Schar, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Wolverines a 5-3 lead. It was the 2nd home run of the year for Copeland.

"We're playing like we're capable of," said Detroit manager Kurt Peterson.
