Riding the 2-hit performance of first baseman Chris Beeler, the Detroit Wolverines stopped the visiting Atlanta Generals, 6-5, in Game 2 of the Divisional Round. Beeler slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Wolverines, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

Duane Simmons, who finished 2nd in the ABL in on-base percentage with .417 in 1971, helped out the Detroit cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the third baseman went 1 for 4.

"This was a nice win for us," said Beeler. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
