Detroit Absorbs 2-1 Loss to Toronto
The Toronto Hurons faced a tough opponent in Detroit pitcher Larry Black, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Dominion Field by a final score of 2-1. Black went 8 innings and allowed 2 runs. Mike Beers picked up the win, improving his season record to 10-8. He struck out 5 in 5 innings. Toronto is now 65-85, while Detroit is 77-74.

Jorge Luna had a big run-scoring double for the Hurons in the bottom of the third inning. With Toronto leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Larry Black, who finished 5th in the ABL in wins with 16 in 1972, and swatted a double to center. It was his 28th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Hurons ahead, 2-0.

"I feel like a little kid every time I put the uniform on," said Luna.
