Sturgeons Win by Slim Margin, 5-4
The Detroit Sturgeons did just enough to secure a victory over the Louisville Colts, 5-4, in 11 innings at Riverside Park. Nobody did more than pitcher Martin Bird. With the win, Detroit raised its record to 49-30.

Batting in the bottom of the 11th, 28-year old left fielder Jimmy Hart had a real shot to win the game. Louisville pitcher Vernon Thorne was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Hart hit a run-scoring single. The Sturgeons had a walk-off triumph.

"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Bird.
