Wolverines Rally to Win, 6-5
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Detroit Wolverines and Montreal Habitants.

The Detroit Wolverines beat the Montreal Habitants, 6-5, in 16 innings at Wolverine Field. Pete Morrison, in particular, was impressive. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and 3 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win leaves Detroit with a record of 8-7.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 16th. With one out, Morrison hit a slider from Jerry Meek for a run-scoring single. The Wolverines, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

Morrison said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
