Detroit Draws Blanks Against Combs
It was a dismal game for the Detroit Wolverines with Frank Combs on the hill. The Atlanta Generals starter was in top form, shutting out Detroit, 4-0. He surrendered a total of 3 hits and piled up 11 strikeouts to pick up the win in a rout.

"No offense to the Wolverines but that was a cakewalk today," Combs said to BNN reporters following the win.
