Wolverines Advance to League Championship Series
The Detroit Wolverines triumphed 7-1 over the Atlanta Generals at Wolverine Field in the Divisional Round to capture it 4-2.

The victory advanced the Wolverines to the League Championship Series.

For his superb play in the series, Wolverines shortstop Bill Taylor garnered the series MVP trophy, hitting .500, scoring 3 runs and batting in 3.

"Only thing better than getting MVP for winning in the playoffs would be winning MVP for winning in the World Series," Taylor said later. "I'll get to work on that."

The Detroit Wolverines don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Dallas Wranglers - San Francisco Seagulls series. Dallas leads the series 3 games to 2. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Divisional Round finishes.
