Plumley Powers Wolverines to 5-2 Win
The Detroit Wolverines defeated the Toronto Hurons, 5-2. Center Fielder Jerry Plumley deserved a large share of the credit. Plumley went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Wolverines. The Hurons fall to 5-7 and continue their lackluster start in 1976.

Plumley had a timely hit for Detroit in the bottom of the seventh. With Detroit trailing 2-1, he turned a first pitch fastball into a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season, making it 5-2, Detroit.

Plumley told the Detroit Daily: "Win or lose, I don't want to see our team outhustled."
