Wolverines Hand New York 4-2 Loss
The Detroit Wolverines rode a solid performance from 27-year-old starting pitcher Basil Anderson to a win, beating the New York Empires, 4-2, at Queens Field. Darrell Klug, credited with the save, is now 17 for 19 in save opportunities. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 55-55.

Dave Cox had a direct impact on the outcome. Cox contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the first inning to put Detroit up, 2-0.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Anderson. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
