Detroit Wolverines starter Scott Litwak turned in an exceptional performance against the Montreal Habitants at Wolverine Field, resulting in a Detroit win, 12-1. Litwak, now 10-7, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 8, walking 1, and allowing no runs. Picking up the save was Elmer Bernstein. He's now 2 for 4 in save chances.

The Habitants had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Wolverines going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old shortstop Paul Popeck came to the plate. Popeck hit a 2-run double on a 2-0 cutter from Montreal hurler Oscar Rodela. It was Popeck's 5th double of the year.

"Nothing to write home about," Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon said, when asked afterward about the game.

After today's action, Detroit sits at 64-45; Montreal slips to 57-52.
