Westerners Suffer One-Run Loss at Detroit
The Detroit Sturgeons topped the Indianapolis Westerners, 6-5, with right fielder Sam Booth playing a big role. Booth went 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Sturgeons in the win. Bill Poole got the win, improving to 3-1. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 10 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 0. The loss puts Indianapolis at 2-5.

The Sturgeons benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the fourth. With Jimmy Hart at bat and Detroit leading 4-3, the Indianapolis miscue allowed Detroit to plate 2 and take the lead, 6-3.

"It was a solid team effort," said Booth after the game.
