Wolverines Walk It Off for 4th Win of Season
The Detroit Wolverines did just enough to sneak past the Chicago American Giants, 9-8, at Tiger Stadium. Detroit left fielder J. D. Martinez, in particular, had a standout performance. With the loss, Chicago falls to 1-3.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Martinez hit a knuckleball from Wilbur Wood for a run-scoring double. The Wolverines, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Daniel Makonnen.
