Host Beavers Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
In a pivotal Game 5, the Detroit Wolverines were hoping for a big game from starter Clay Gillespie. They got one.

The right-hander shut out the Buffalo Beavers, proving to be the difference-maker as he led his club to a 2-0 victory. The Wolverines took the 2-0 win over the Buffalo Beavers to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Gillespie was in the zone all game. He frustrated Buffalo hitters while giving the Wolverines 9 innings of quality work. Gillespie threw 127 pitches, allowing 5 hits and getting 2 punchouts.

"We played hard and won," said Gillespie. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The next game is set to be played Tuesday, October 14th, 1952 at Wolverine Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Tony Williams for Buffalo and Les Nash for Detroit.
