The Detroit Wolverines topped the Twin Cities Northmen, 10-3, at Twin Cities Stadium. Detroit left fielder Booker Lee was a spark plug for the offense. He was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Jim Bryant, who finished 5th in the ABL in wins with 16 in 1969, was the winner. He's now 16-6. The loser was Jeff Jordan. The 78-61 Wolverines lead the American Baseball League Eastern Division by one game.

With Detroit leading 3-0 in the top of the second, Lee hit a 2-run single off Twin Cities hurler Jeff Jordan. It was the 80th hit of the season for Lee and put his team ahead, 5-0.

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