Detroit Wolverines pitcher Juan Rodriguez was in fine form, leading his team past the New York Empires, 5-0. The winner was Rodriguez. He threw 5.2 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Jon Pierce. The Wolverines now have a record of 48-41 with the win over New York.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Cooper? The Detroit shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Wolverines on top, 4-0. For the game, Cooper had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I didn't leave too many pitches out over the plate," said Rodriguez.
