Wolverines Capture 7-1 Win at Atlantic Avenue Grounds
The Detroit Wolverines beat the Boston Terriers, 7-1, at Atlantic Avenue Grounds. Starting pitcher Basil Anderson was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The Wolverines, now 22-28, know that wins in May count the same as wins in September.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Jerry Plumley to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Wolverines ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

In postgame comments to the Detroit Daily, Anderson said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
