Joe Cavender had a big run-scoring double for the Sturgeons in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Detroit leading 3-2 and a runner on 2nd, he got a fastball from Jack Malley, who is tied for 9th in the FL in quality starts with 10, and swatted a double to right. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Sturgeons ahead, 4-2.

Cavender attributed the win to "a well-rounded effort by the whole team."
