Habitants Score Late to Nip Wolverines, 4-3
Detroit third baseman Duane Simmons had a good game, even if his team did not. The Wolverines dropped a 4-3 decision to Montreal at LaSalle Stadium. Simmons went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Habitants, at 63-54, have now won 5 straight.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Ed Hudson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Detroit pitcher Warren Washington, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 4-3.

Hudson called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
