Almost There: Detroit On Cusp of LCS Triumph After 4-2 Win
The Detroit Wolverines moved to within one game of the World Series, downing the visiting San Francisco Seagulls at Wolverine Field by a score of 4-2. Wolverines second baseman Bill Taylor did some major damage. He went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The win gives the Wolverines a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Booker Lee, who finished 2nd in the ABL in doubles with 34 in 1966, helped out the Detroit cause in the bottom of the third inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the left fielder drove in one run.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Taylor told the Detroit Daily News.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wolverine Field in Detroit.
