Atlanta Loses, 6-5, to Detroit in 10
Atlanta left fielder Ed Mika had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-5, to Detroit in 10 innings. Mika was 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI. The save was credited to William Matz, his 5th. The Detroit winning streak has reached 3 games.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Danny Strickland to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Wolverines on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"There's no quit in this team," said Wolverines manager Kurt Peterson.
