Wolverines Need Extra Frames to Get Past Black Sox
The home squad pulled out a thrilling walk-off win.

The Detroit Wolverines grabbed a win, 10-9, over the Baltimore Black Sox at Tiger Stadium. Detroit left fielder Juan Beníquez was 3 for 6 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Wolverines sit in third place in the American League Bill James Division with a record of 23-25.

Detroit got a clutch hit from Oscar Gamble. The designated hitter launched a solo home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"I like to lead by example," said Gamble. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
