Wolverines Squeeze By Baltimore, 2-1
The Detroit Wolverines had to overcome a fine effort from Baltimore pitcher Larry Diego to win, 2-1, at Wolverine Field. Diego went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. The Wolverines bumped their record to 52-46 with this latest triumph.

Detroit got a knockout punch from Duane Simmons. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Simmons said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
