The winner was Don Shelton in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Tom Davidson took the loss. With the victory, the Sturgeons upped their record to 22-12.

Joe Cavender came through with a big-time hit for Detroit. The center fielder smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 11-10. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

In postgame comments, Cavender said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
