Seattle Falls Again, 3-2
The Detroit Wolverines locked up a win at Wolverine Field, knocking off the Seattle Emeralds, 3-2. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Larry Black. He played a major role in the triumph. The winner was Black. He threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball. The loser was Jose Rodriguez. John Bailey recorded the save, making him 11 for 14.

Detroit took a 3-1 lead on Eddie Estrada's 11th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Estrada hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Seattle pitcher Dave Alexander visibly frustrated.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Black. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."

The victory gives the Wolverines a record of 60-52.
