Cash goes 4-for-4 in Terriers Win
The Boston Terriers defeated the Detroit Wolverines, 6-4, in part because of left fielder Mike Cash. Cash went 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Terriers. The winner was Bruce Shurtleff, who threw 124 pitches over 8 innings. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs on 7 hits. Bill Falcon was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 7 save opportunities.

Had Miguel Saenz not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Saenz hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Terriers.

"I'm proud of the way our guys played today to come out with this win," Saenz told the Boston Times.

Boston is now 42-63, Detroit 53-50.
