Wolverines Snag 6-4 Win
The 6-4 Detroit win over Atlanta was due in large part to Pete Morrison. The Wolverines center fielder was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Detroit reliever John Gaylord picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Ron Nightingale was saddled with the loss. The American Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Wolverines have a record of 81-50.

Detroit used a clutch hit from Booker Lee to get the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Wolverines ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I like our moxie," said Wolverines manager Alex Wobbema.
