Detroit Downed, 4-2, by Lords
The Baltimore Lords faced a tough opponent in Detroit pitcher Larry Black, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Wolverine Field by a final score of 4-2. Black went 7.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Phil Morris snagged the win in relief. He goes to 3-2 on the season. John Bailey suffered the loss. With the win, Baltimore has a record of 42-48. Detroit falls to 53-39.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of Mike Sheffield to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Lords on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Baltimore manager Steve Read. "It's usually not just one thing."
