Zimmerman Hits Two Homers in 9-3 Win for Detroit
The Detroit Wolverines beat the Baltimore Lords, 9-3, at Seton Hill Stadium. John Zimmerman belted 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. The 30-year old catcher was a menace to Baltimore all day. Picking up the win was Juan Rodriguez. He went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. The left--hander struck out 4 and walked 1. The Lords, now 7-18, continue their sluggish start.

In the top of the eighth, the Wolverines grabbed the lead when Zimmerman hit his 4th home run of the season. The 3-run home run off Denny Boyd made it 6-3, Detroit.

"I had a good game," said Zimmerman. "Winning makes it even better."
