Thome Excels, But Wolverines Win
Jim Thome had a good game, but he could not keep the Miami Cuban Giants from falling, 8-6, to the Detroit Wolverines at Baker Bowl. The Miami first baseman hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice in the loss. The Wolverines saw their record improve to 59-62.

Oscar Gamble came through with a big-time hit for Detroit. The left fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 7-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We're a talented bunch when we're playing well," said Gamble. "I think we showed that here."
