Drooping Hurons Lose 6th Straight
The Detroit Wolverines used the hitting of left fielder Booker Lee to subdue the Toronto Hurons, 5-4. For the game, Lee was 3-5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Detroit reliever Warren Washington was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Steve Persenaire. The losses continue to mount for Toronto, which has now dropped 6 in a row.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Lee hit a changeup from Dave Hamilton for a run-scoring single. The Wolverines, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I like to lead by example," said Lee. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
