Wolverines, Empires Play 12 to Settle Game 1, Detroit Now Leads Series 1-0
One game in and the Divisional Round is already looking exhausting.

The Detroit Wolverines and the New York Empires needed 12 innings to settle Game 1, with the Wolverines finally taking the 8-3 victory at Queens Field. Excelling in the win was Detroit pitcher Scott Litwak, who threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. The Wolverines and Empires are playing a best-of-7 series.

Pete Morrison came through with a big-time hit for Detroit. The right fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the 12th inning to give his team the lead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Morrison said he was "thrilled" the fans had something to get excited about.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Queens Field in New York.
