Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Wranglers, 11-5
The Dallas Wranglers moved to within one game of the World Series today, downing the visiting Detroit Wolverines at Bluff Park by a score of 11-5. Wranglers third baseman John Hammit did some major damage. He was 2 for 4 with a triple, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win gives the Wranglers a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

The Wranglers took a 10-5 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. Facing Detroit hurler John Gaylord with two outs, Hammit hit a bases-clearing triple.

Hammit told the Dallas Times: "Sometimes the big stage is not big enough for me."

Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at Wolverine Field in Detroit.
