Wolverines Popped by Lords, 9-2
Baltimore Lords starter Dan Valenti pitched his team past the Detroit Wolverines, 9-2. Valenti got the win, improving to 12-10. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 6.1 innings. He allowed 2 runs. After today's action, Baltimore sits at 69-70, while Detroit falls to 65-75.

Mike Sheffield had a big grand slam home run for the Lords in the bottom of the first inning. With Baltimore leading 3-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from Juan Rodriguez, who finished 3rd in the ABL in wins with 18 in 1967, and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Lords on top, 7-0.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Baltimore skipper Steve Read.
