Atlanta Loses Again, 3-2
The Detroit Wolverines topped the Atlanta Generals, 3-2, in American Baseball League action at Wolverine Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Detroit pitcher Juan Rodriguez. The winning pitcher was Rodriguez, now 2-0. He tossed 9 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 5. Detroit goes to 5-3.

Detroit took a 3-2 lead on Pete Morrison's 2nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Morrison hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Atlanta pitcher Erv Couch visibly frustrated.

"That's baseball," said Atlanta manager Philipe Yazzie. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."
