Detroit Earns 3-2 Win
The Detroit Wolverines picked up a win at Wolverine Field, dropping the Baltimore Lords, 3-2. Jim Bryant, who finished 3rd in the ABL in innings pitched with 265.1 in 1968, was the difference-maker. The win went to Paul Carter in relief, making him now 3-4. Denny Boyd took the loss for Baltimore. The Lords are now 12-18.

Had John Zimmerman not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Zimmerman hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Wolverines.

Bryant attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
