Jim Bryant, who finished 3rd in the ABL in wins with 18 last year, propelled his team to victory over the Toronto Hurons. The final score was 8-5, Detroit. Toronto falls to 1-4.

Emil Wathen, who finished 4th in the ABL in on-base percentage with .368 in 1968, took Toronto hurler Bob Trout deep in the bottom of the first. His 2-run home run put the Wolverines on top, 2-0. In all, Wathen had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Wathen. "But I like how we're playing right now."
