The Detroit Wolverines took on the New York Empires at Queens Field.

A 4-RBI performance from the four-time Most Valuable Player Award winner Pete Morrison helped the Detroit Wolverines beat the New York Empires, 9-4. William Matz, the winning pitcher, improved to 5-4. He pitched 7.2 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 4.

Chuck McCormick, who is tied for 2nd in the ABL in triples with 4, aided the Detroit cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the fifth. For the game, the center fielder drew 1 walk.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Morrison told the Detroit Daily.

The Wolverines own a robust 32-17 mark.
