Wolverines Come Back Late to Top Emeralds, 3-2
Seattle got a valiant performance from pitcher Mike Harris, but it wasn't enough to beat the Detroit Wolverines. Detroit won the game, 3-2. Harris threw 7.2 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. John Bailey got credit for the win, improving to 8-3. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 2 innings. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 66-53.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Booker Lee to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Detroit manager Alex Wobbema commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
