Detroit Loses, 14-10, to Boston in 12
Boston and Detroit engaged in a slugfest.

The Boston Terriers defeated the Detroit Wolverines, 14-10, in 12 innings. Much of the credit belonged to second baseman Roberto Alvarez, who went 5-7 with 5 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Terriers. Boston pitcher John Morgan got the win, upping his record to 1-1. Alfredo Morales got the loss.

The Wolverines had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Terriers going into the top of the 12th inning. That changed quickly when the 32-year old center fielder Eddie Hernandez came to the plate. Hernandez hit a 2-run triple on a 1-1 curveball from Detroit hurler Alfredo Morales. It was Hernandez's 6th triple of the year.

"We were able to put some good swings on some pitches," Alvarez told the Boston Daily.

By defeating Detroit, the 5th-place Terriers improved to 61-69.
