Sturgeons Knock Off Indianapolis, 3-2
The Detroit Sturgeons earned a close win over the Indianapolis Westerners, thanks in part to Bill Poole. The Detroit right-hander, who finished 5th in the FL in strikeouts with 206 in 1885, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Detroit is now 26-17, Indianapolis 13-28.

Detroit used the clutch hitting of Dave Greene to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to give the Sturgeons the lead, 2-1. For the game, Greene had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Detroit manager .
