The Detroit Wolverines picked up a win at Sam Houston Field, knocking off the Houston Drillers, 5-0. Starting pitcher Scott Litwak was a big reason why. Detroit is now 20-26, Houston 31-17.

Detroit starter Scott Litwak was exceptional. The 6-foot-5 left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings of work.

"Scott has got a slow heartbeat," said Detroit manager Kurt Peterson. "He doesn't panic or anything."
