Sturgeons Rally Late to Clip Indianapolis
Detroit pitcher Cy Verret did his part in helping his team defeat the Indianapolis Westerners, 3-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Verret, the winner, moves to 13-10. He threw 9 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 4 walks. The second-place Sturgeons are 55-30.

Detroit took a 3-2 lead on Verret's 6th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which he hit off Bill McDonald in the top of the eighth, propelled Detroit to the win.

"I was able to really locate my pitches tonight," said Verret.
