Detroit Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in LCS
The Detroit Wolverines got a strong performance from pitcher Les Nash, who stymied the visiting New York Knickerbockers en route to a win, 5-3, in Game 3 of the League Championship Series today. The Knickerbockers could never get a bead on the right-handed Nash, who threw 9 innings allowing 3 runs. The Wolverines now hold a 2-1 in the best-of-7 series.

Pat Clark dealt the Knickerbockers a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with runners on 1st and 2nd and Detroit leading 3-2, Clark, who is a two-time All-Star, hit a 2-2 slider for a run-scoring double.

Nash called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wolverine Field. The scheduled starters for the game are John Ambrose for the New York Knickerbockers and Tommy Johnson for the the Detroit Wolverines.
