Lords Stumble, Lose to Wolverines
Detroit got a strong outing from John Fredrick as the Wolverines defeated the Baltimore Lords, 8-2, at Wolverine Field. Fredrick, now 1-1, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 5, walking 3, and allowing 2 runs. The Lords are now 12-19 this season.

The Lords had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Wolverines going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old catcher Gasper Copeland came to the plate. Copeland hit a 2-run home run on a full count fastball from Baltimore hurler Pete Veirs. It was Copeland's 2nd home run of the year.

"They just got us," said Baltimore manager Steve Read, "and that's all I can say."
