Generals Suffer 9-5 Home Defeat
A 3-RBI performance from Pete Morrison, who led the ABL in runs with 106 in 1972, helped the Detroit Wolverines beat the Atlanta Generals, 9-5. Detroit is now 80-73, 3½ games up in the American Baseball League Eastern Division.

With Detroit trailing 3-2 in the top of the second, Morrison hit a fastball from Joe Johnson for a 2-run home run. It was his 21st home run of the season and put the Wolverines ahead, 4-3.

"I'm proud to wear a Detroit jersey," Morrison told the Detroit Daily. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
