Detroit Wins, 1-0, Over Wranglers
Dallas got a valiant performance from pitcher Charlie Sokol, but it wasn't enough to beat the Detroit Wolverines. Detroit won the game, 1-0. Sokol threw 8.2 innings of 7-hit ball for the losing team. Detroit reliever Fred Harrison snagged the win, upping his record to 15-3. Charlie Sokol shouldered the loss. Detroit goes to 56-58, Dallas to 64-51.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game scoreless in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Wranglers allowed the Wolverines to score the winning run.

"You come to the ballpark to do your job and that's what I did today," Lutz told the Detroit Bulletin.
