Wolverines Earn 4-3 Win Against Hurons
The Detroit Wolverines picked up a win at Wolverine Field, topping the Toronto Hurons, 4-3. On the mound for Detroit was right-hander Jim Bryant. He played a principal role in the triumph. Elmer Bernstein picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-2. Al Earner, who is rated as the 28th best prospect by BNN, was tagged with the loss. The defeat makes Toronto 59-92.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bob Gilley in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Herman Gagne to win the game for Detroit. The home crowd went nuts.

"If you're not prepared, it's not pressure you feel, it's fear," mused Detroit manager Kurt Peterson.
