Detroit Wolverines starter Larry Black was on his game, helping his team beat the Twin Cities Northmen, 9-1. Black went 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 4, and struck out 4. His record improves to 11-7. Detroit goes to 69-47. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Duane Simmons? The Detroit first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Wolverines on top, 3-0. For the game, Simmons had 1 double and 3 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Black.
