7-4 Loss to Hawks Extends Detroit Losing Streak
Chicago Hawks starter Ken Eldridge pitched a strong game against the Detroit Wolverines at Wolverine Field, leading the Hawks to victory, 7-4. Chicago has now won 4 games in a row.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Sergio Morales to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Hawks ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I was trying to do what I do, go out there and compete," said Eldridge.
