Wolverines Roll to 8-2 Win Over Emeralds
The Detroit Wolverines got a good effort from starter Juan Rodriguez in defeating the Seattle Emeralds at Wolverine Field. The final score was 8-2. Rodriguez got the win, improving to 8-10. He gave up 3 hits and walked 4 over 7 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Seattle, at 54-52, has lost 5 straight.

The Emeralds had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Wolverines going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the fan favorite Jerry Plumley came to the plate. Plumley hit a bases-clearing triple on a full count sinker from Seattle hurler John Walker. It was Plumley's 4th triple of the year.

"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Plumley said in reaction to the win.
