The Detroit Wolverines soundly defeated the Toronto Hurons, 14-3, at Wolverine Field, with third baseman Duane Simmons a major reason why. He was 3 for 3 with 3 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for Detroit. Scott Litwak picked up the win with 6.2 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 9-6. The first-place Wolverines, at 81-62, lead the American Baseball League Eastern Division by 2½ games.

Chipping in for Detroit was right fielder Pete Morrison. He stroked a single in the bottom of the first. For the game, Morrison went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 runs.

"Good win," said Simmons. "Maybe some of the whiners in the clubhouse will pipe down for a little while now."
