Atlanta Absorbs 9-6 Loss to Detroit
No one was more impactful than Pete Morrison in the 9-6 Detroit win over Atlanta. Morrison, who finished 3rd in the ABL in extra base hits with 56 in 1967, went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Alfredo Morales came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 4.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. Detroit is now 30-16, 2 games up in the American Baseball League Eastern Division.

With Detroit trailing 6-5 in the top of the third, Morrison hit a 2-run single off Atlanta hurler Bill Davis. It was the 36th hit of the season for Morrison and put his team ahead, 7-6.

"I'm proud to wear a Detroit jersey," Morrison told the Detroit Citizen. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
