Wolverines Suffer 8-2 Road Loss
Seattle pitcher Denny Goldberg did his part in helping his team defeat the Detroit Wolverines, 8-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The winner was Goldberg. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was John Fredrick. The victory gives Seattle a record of 59-58.

Roberto Soto had a big 3-run home run for the Emeralds in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Seattle trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from John Fredrick, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1963 draft, and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Emeralds on top, 4-2.

"They just got us," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema, "and that's all I can say."
