Lords Sneak By Wolverines, 6-5
The Baltimore Lords cut down the Detroit Wolverines by the score of 6-5, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman John Balliet. Balliet went 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Lords. The third-place Lords hiked their record to 68-61.

Balliet had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 1-2 cutter from Elmer Bernstein, he banged a 2-run home run to right-center, giving the Lords a 5-3 lead. It was the 12th home run of the year for Balliet.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Baltimore manager Steve Read.
