Wolverines Rally Past Black Barons to Claim 1-0 Series Lead
A clutch 9th inning gave the Detroit Wolverines a walk-off win over the Birmingham Black Barons and a 1-0 lead in the Round 1 at Tiger Stadium today. Young first baseman Hank Greenberg, 23, earned accolades after he was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Detroit center fielder Chili Davis, facing Steve Bedrosian, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Wolverines the 7-6 win.

"Ever since we qualified for the playoffs, the guys have been razzing me about how I'm going to embarrass myself out there," the rookie Greenberg said with a smile. "I'm glad to prove them wrong, at least for a day."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
