Wolverines Get 11-6 Win Versus Houston
The Detroit Wolverines cut down the Houston Drillers by the score of 11-6, with the largest share of the credit going to right fielder Jerry Plumley. Plumley was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Wolverines. Larry Black was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 8 hits, with no walks and 3 strikeouts. The Wolverines saw their record improve to 26-30.

Troy Stallings, who finished 4th in the NBL in triples with 10 in 1971, chipped in a run-scoring single for Detroit in the bottom of the first. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"It's always nice to be on the winning side," Plumley told the Detroit Daily. "But we take nothing for granted."
