Late Rally by Wolverines Locks Up 11-8 Win
In the 11-8 Detroit win over Miami, the impact of Juan Beníquez was substantial. Beníquez went 4-5 with 4 singles. The third-place Wolverines are 79-80.

The game was all tied up in the top of the eighth, until Beníquez delivered big-time for Detroit, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Sandy Consuegra. The game-changing hit put the Wolverines on top, 9-8.

"It feels good to get this one," Beníquez told the Detroit Bulletin.
