Wolverines Win at New York, 9-4
Detroit parlayed a decent outing from starter John Fredrick into a solid win over the New York Empires. The final score was 9-4. The winning pitcher was Fredrick, now 6-2. He tossed 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 4. The Wolverines have an impressive 23-13 record.

Detroit used a well-timed hit by Eddie Taylor to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Wolverines ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I was able to really locate my pitches tonight," said Fredrick.
