Wolverines Raise Rally Flag, Beat Montreal, 8-5
Detroit right fielder Pete Morrison was a significant contributor in his team's 8-5 triumph over the Montreal Habitants. He went 4-5 with 3 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Wolverines. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 70-56.

Detroit went up, 7-5, on Duane Simmons's 19th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Simmons hit in the bottom of the eighth, made Montreal pitcher Al Johns grimace.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Morrison.
