Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Wolverines, 2-1
The Detroit Wolverines moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the Brooklyn Bluebirds 2-1 in a low-scoring, extra-inning affair at Wolverine Field. Leading the way for the Wolverines was right-hander Jerome Wheelock, who was named player of the game after he threw 10 innings of shutout ball. The win gives the Wolverines a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

The Wolverines beat the Bluebirds in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Eugene Ayres produced in the bottom of the 14th. Batting against Brooklyn pitcher Tony Westbrook, Ayres gave his team a 2-1 lead when he hit a walk-off run-scoring single.

"This place was rockin'," said Ayres.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 12th, 1920 in Brooklyn. Slated to start are Hector Healey for the Detroit Wolverines and Clay Baldwin for the the Brooklyn Bluebirds.
