Northmen Win 6-5 Nail-Biter Versus Wolverines
The Twin Cities Northmen in 11 innings downed the Detroit Wolverines, 6-5, at Twin Cities Stadium. Carl Jacobs led the way, going 4-for-6 for Twin Cities. The win belonged to Paul Whitaker in relief. His record improves to 3-1. Doug Fiorentino took the loss for Detroit. With this game in the books, Twin Cities is 52-75, Detroit 64-63.

The decisive blow was delivered by Pete Walker in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Doug Fiorentino to win the game for Twin Cities. The home crowd went nuts.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Jason Gudim, the Twin Cities skipper. "This one tested us."
