Litwak Lays Hammer Down in 6-1 Win
The Chicago Hawks went down to defeat to Scott Litwak and his Detroit teammates. The final score was 6-1, in favor of the Wolverines. The first-place Wolverines have won 8 consecutive games.

Detroit starter Scott Litwak was dynamite. The 6-foot-5 left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits over 8.1 innings.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Litwak. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
