Host Lords Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
The Detroit Wolverines moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the Baltimore Lords on the road at Seton Hill Stadium by a score of 8-4. Wolverines second baseman Bill Taylor was 3-4 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The win gives the Wolverines a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Round.

In the top of the sixth, Detroit pinch hitter Danny Strickland hit a two-strike slider to right field for a run-scoring single. It put the Wolverines up, 5-4.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Taylor, "one at-bat at a time."

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 8th , 1974 at Wolverine Field in Detroit.
