New York left fielder Babe Ruth made his presence felt in the 10-3 Black Yankees triumph over the Detroit Wolverines. Ruth went 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was Tony Brizzolara. He tossed 90 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 4 hits. New York has now won 3 straight, while the Wolverines have lost 4 in a row.

New York used the hitting of Derek Jeter to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Black Yankees on top, 4-1. For the game, Jeter had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Detroit manager Daniel Makonnen said: "You try to find positives. We have to regroup and put this game behind us."
