Sturgeons Take Tight Tangle
The Detroit Sturgeons picked up a win at Girard Grounds II, knocking off the Philadelphia Unions, 6-5, in 12 innings. Starting pitcher Bill Poole played a key role in the triumph. The third-place Sturgeons now have a win-loss record of 29-19.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Sam Booth came to bat in the top of the 12th. Facing Philadelphia pitcher Jack Malley, he hit a 1-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 6-5.

"Sometimes winning takes more than 27 outs," said Sturgeons manager .
