Wolverines Get Hard-Earned Win
The Detroit Wolverines grabbed a win, 5-4, over the Toronto Hurons at Wolverine Field. Detroit shortstop Bill Taylor went 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs. John Bailey got credit for the win, improving to 6-5. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Detroit is in first place in the American Baseball League Eastern Division with a record of 53-37.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Taylor hit a sinker from Ron Gordon for a run-scoring single. The Wolverines, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Put a star next to this win," Taylor said.
