The Detroit Wolverines cut down the Dallas Wranglers by the score of 5-3, with the largest share of the credit going to catcher Gasper Copeland. Copeland went 2-4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Wolverines. The Wolverines have an impressive 32-19 record.

Copeland had a game-changing triple in the top of the eighth. On a 1-0 changeup from Frank Dunn, he banged a run-scoring triple to left-center, giving the Wolverines a 4-3 lead. It was the 1st triple of the year for Copeland.

"I still think this team can play even better," Copeland told the Detroit Citizen.
