Wolverines Walk It Off for 78th Win of Season
The Detroit Wolverines wiggled past the Cleveland Spiders, 5-4, at Tiger Stadium. The win was highlighted by the performance of Detroit pitcher Charlie Root. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 78-63.

The Wolverines procured the win, in large part because of shortstop George Davis. In the bottom of the 11th, he produced the game-winning run-scoring single.

"We'll put that win in the can," said Davis, "and go after the next one."
