Wolverines Rough Up Hurons, 12-3
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Detroit Wolverines and Toronto Hurons.

The Detroit Wolverines scored a convincing win at Dominion Field, defeating the Toronto Hurons, 12-3. One of the hitting stars was Jerry Plumley, who finished 3rd in the ABL in on-base percentage with .412 in 1971, who belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Jim Bryant got the win, improving to 2-1. He worked 8 innings, giving up 3 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0.

With Detroit leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Plumley hit a sinker from Bob Trout for a solo home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Wolverines ahead, 2-0.

Said Toronto manager Jim Burns after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."

The Wolverines, now 11-4, have played some good baseball in the early going.
