Wolverines Win, 4-2, Versus Toronto
The Toronto Hurons got a superb performance from pitcher Bill John, but the Detroit Wolverines still won the game, 4-2. John threw 6.2 innings of 2-hit ball. The win belonged to Darrell Klug in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Larry Haddock took the loss for Toronto. The defeat makes Toronto 1-1.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Steve Tingle to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Toronto manager Jim Burns.
