Taylor, Wolverines Clobber Habitants, 11-2
The Detroit Wolverines downed the Montreal Habitants, 11-2, at Wolverine Field. Bill Taylor led the way, going 3-for-4 for Detroit. Larry Black, the winner, improved to 12-9. He held the Habitants to 2 runs on 5 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 2. The win puts Detroit at 71-56 this season.

One of the clutch hits for Detroit came from one of their biggest talents. In the bottom of the seventh with no one out, Pete Morrison, who finished 2nd in the ABL in wins above replacement with 8.7 in 1970, hit a run-scoring single to put the Wolverines up, 3-2. For the game, the right fielder was 1-3 with 2 walks. He scored 2 runs.

Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon called the blowout loss "ugly."
