Lords Take Down Wolverines, 7-3
The Baltimore Lords topped the Detroit Wolverines, 7-3, in 12 innings at Wolverine Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Baltimore third baseman John Balliet. With the win, Baltimore goes to 21-21, while the Wolverines fall to 18-25.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of George McIntyre to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Lords on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"There's no quit in this team," said Lords manager Steve Read.
