9-6 Triumph Takes Detroit to 84-52
The Detroit Wolverines defeated the Los Angeles Pobladores, 9-6, in part because of first baseman Duane Simmons. Simmons was 1-1 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Wolverines. Paul Carter was credited with the save, his 13th in 16 tries. The Pobladores, now 49-87, have lost 4 straight.

Booker Lee was 1-5 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Detroit. The 1964 Rookie of the Year Award winner had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Dan Haggard. It was his 77th RBI of the season.

"This team is on a mission," said Lee, who is one of the clubhouse leaders. "I like our focus."
