Wolverines Clip Seagulls 5-4 in DS Contest
The Detroit Wolverines defeated the San Francisco Seagulls, 5-4 in Game 4 of the Divisional Series today. Making an impact was catcher John Zimmerman, who was 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win moves Detroit into a 2-2 tie with San Francisco in the series.

The game was all tied up in the top of the eighth, until Zimmerman delivered big-time for Detroit, stroking a dramatic 2-run single off Chris Freeman. The game-changing hit put the Wolverines on top, 5-3.

"The vibe's good," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema. "We've got to keep it going."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Mission Field in San Francisco.
