Wolverines Flatten Lords, 13-3
Good production from third baseman Duane Simmons helped the Detroit Wolverines topple the Baltimore Lords, 13-3. Simmons was 3-6 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Wolverines. Scott Litwak, the winner, goes to 7-4. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts over 6 innings. Detroit, at 42-27, is 2 games up in the American Baseball League Eastern Division.

Emil Wathen had a big 2-run double for the Wolverines in the top of the fourth inning. With Detroit leading 4-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from former first round draft pick Don Achber and swatted a double to right. It was his 4th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Wolverines ahead, 6-2.

Baltimore manager Steve Read said: "We'll rinse this one off and get ready for the next game."
