Wolverines Top Empires, 2-0, Behind Rodriguez
Wolverine Field hosted an old-fashioned pitchers' duel.

The Detroit Wolverines claimed a close win over the New York Empires, due in large part to Juan Rodriguez. The Detroit left-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-0 win. New York is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.

Rodriguez allowed no runs over 8 innings. He also racked up 6 strikeouts.

"It all comes down to competing and our guys love to compete," said Wolverines manager Kurt Peterson.
