#Detroit Wolverines

Detroit pounded 5 homeruns–3 in the first inning–in a 9-5 win over Cleveland. Oscar Gamble, Bob Bailey, Jimmy Collins, Ty Cobb, and Tony Phillips all went deep, and Hank Aguirre put in 7 strong innings to level his record at 3-3.

With Kevin Hart looking good in his rehab assignment at AAA, the Wolverines demoted Jason Schmidt and returned Hart to the big leagues.

#Los Angeles Angels

A grand slam from Doug Rader and homeruns from Elmer Valo and Bobby Grich led Los Angeles to a 10-1 lead, helping Gerrit Cole become the first 10 game winner in the WBL.

#New York Gothams

Juan Marichal moved to 7-2 with 8 innings of one-hit ball as the Gothams beat Ottawa, 2-1. Brian Wilson picked up his 9th save, recording 3 outs on 5 pitches in a game where New York managed only 2 hits, both by Pinky Higgins.
