Wolverines Sneak Past Generals, 4-3
The Detroit Wolverines defeated the Atlanta Generals, 4-3, in American Baseball League action at Wolverine Field. Detroit pitcher Jim Bryant had a standout performance. Elmer Bernstein, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1 innings. Tim McGovern notched his 1st save in 1 chances.

Had Jerry Plumley not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Plumley hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Wolverines.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Plumley told the Detroit News. "Whatever it takes."

The triumph puts Detroit at 34-29 for the season.
