Wolverines Bag 2-1 Win
Basil Anderson pitched a gem to lead Detroit to victory over the Houston Drillers, 2-1. Anderson picked up the win for Detroit, going 8.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 5-4. The setback makes Houston 37-20.

The Drillers had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Wolverines going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old catcher Larry Adams came to the plate. Adams hit a run-scoring double on a 1-1 fastball from Houston hurler Jerry Zaruba. It was Adams's 4th double of the year.

"Basil was able to locate to both sides, up and down," said Detroit manager Kurt Peterson.
