Wolverines Hand Boston 7-4 Loss
The Detroit Wolverines downed the Boston Terriers, 7-4, the largest share of the credit belonging to right fielder Pete Morrison. On the day, Morrison went 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Wolverines. Larry Black got the win, improving to 14-6. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 9 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 1. The first-place Wolverines have won 4 straight games.

Emil Wathen went 1-2 with a walk for Detroit. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, Wathen, who finished 5th in the ABL in batting average with .289 in 1968, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Boston hurler David Juarez, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Wolverines a 5-4 lead.

"It was a solid, all-around game for us," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema.
