Wolverines Earn 5-2 Win Against Hurons
Detroit pitcher Juan Rodriguez had a large part in his team subduing the Toronto Hurons, 5-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. John Bailey earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. He upped his record to 7-3. With the victory, the Wolverines upped their record to 55-51.

Detroit needed the clutch hitting of Jerry Plumley to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 3-2. For the game, Plumley had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Said losing manager Jim Burns: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
