Wolverines Victors, 6-4, at Toronto
Detroit right fielder Pete Morrison made his presence felt in the 6-4 Wolverines triumph over the Toronto Hurons. Morrison was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times. Detroit now has a record of 76-58 with the win.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Duane Simmons? The former first round draft pick Simmons stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put Detroit up, 5-3. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 2 doubles and 1 single.

"It makes it a little nicer in the clubhouse when we win," said Simmons. "It eases the tension."
