Black Sox Down Wolverines, 16-13
The Detroit Wolverines got a superb performance from third baseman Bob Bailey, but the Baltimore Black Sox still won the game, 16-13. Bailey was 4 for 6 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Gregg Olson earned his 3rd save in 7 chances. At 65-78, the Black Sox are currently 4th in the American League Bill James Division.

Baltimore used the timely hitting of Eddie Murray to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Black Sox on top, 15-13. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll enjoy this win for now, but it's just one," Murray told local reporters. "We've got to keep it going."
