Detroit Gets 6-5 Win Against Habitants
The game between Detroit and Montreal is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Detroit Wolverines defeated the Montreal Habitants, 6-5, at Wolverine Field. Detroit was led by 32-year old center fielder Chuck McCormick, who was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Detroit reliever Doug Fiorentino was the winner. His record is now 3-3. The losing pitcher was Erv Koenig.

Early in the game, McCormick had a 3-run home run for Detroit. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Wolverines on top, 5-2.

"It wasn't our best performance," said McCormick, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."

Detroit now has a record of 63-62 with the win.
