Wolverines Tag Habitants with 7-2 Loss
Detroit and Montreal got after it at LaSalle Stadium.

Detroit registered a win at LaSalle Stadium by beating the Montreal Habitants, 7-2. Pitcher Scott Litwak was one reason why the Wolverines triumphed. John Bailey earned save number 14 this season.

Emil Wathen had a big 2-run home run for the Wolverines in the top of the fifth inning. With Detroit leading 3-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from Oscar Rodela, who is a two-time All-Star, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Wolverines on top, 5-1.

"Scott was dictating to their hitters," said Detroit manager Alex Wobbema.

The victory gives the Wolverines a record of 34-20.
