Wolverines Deal Boston 8-2 Defeat
The 3-hit performance of Duane Simmons, who is tied for 5th in the ABL in hits with 22, helped the Detroit Wolverines beat the Boston Terriers, 8-2. The winning pitcher was Larry Black. He tossed 92 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 2 runs on 11 hits. The Terriers, now 6-11, continue their sluggish start.

In the top of the fifth, Detroit left fielder Booker Lee had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Lee stroked a run-scoring single to center. It made the score 2-0, Detroit. For the game, he went 1 for 4.

"No time for flexing," said Lee. "It's always one game at a time."
