Wolverines Roll to 8-2 Win Over Drillers
The Detroit Wolverines topped the Houston Drillers by a score of 8-2. Leading the way was center fielder Danny Strickland. Strickland was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Wolverines. The 6th-place Drillers have lost 5 consecutive games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Voss? The Detroit third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 3-1. For the game, Voss had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Houston manager Tom Harrington.
