Host Habitants 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 Larry Black. They got one.

The right-hander shut out the Montreal Habitants, proving to be the difference-maker as he led his club to a 5-0 victory. The Wolverines took the 5-0 win over the Montreal Habitants to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Black was phenomenal for Detroit. The right-hander went the distance, shutting out the Habitants on just 6 hits.

"I had pretty good command out there," said Black.

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