Wolverines Top Pobladores in Extras, 6-4
The Wolverines earned a hard-fought, 6-4 win in 11 innings at San Vicente Park. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Los Angeles pitcher Bob Powell. Powell went 9.2 innings and allowed 4 runs. The winner was Detroit reliever Paul Carter, now 5-4. The loser was Whistlestop Meadows. Jeff Peachtree finished the game for Detroit and earned his 1st save.

Chuck McCormick came through with a big-time hit for Detroit. The center fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 6-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

In postgame comments, McCormick said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."

With the win, the Wolverines sit at 18-18.
