Sturgeons Get Thrilling 5-4 Win
The home squad pulled out a thrilling walk-off win.

The Detroit Sturgeons did just enough to sneak past the Washington Federals, 5-4, at Riverside Park. Detroit pitcher Bill Poole, in particular, had a standout performance. Poole, now 4-1, was the winner. In 12 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 6, walking 4, and allowing 4 runs.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With no one out, Poole hit a changeup from Norm Schmitt for a run-scoring single. The Sturgeons, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Poole.

Now 2-8, the Federals have gotten off to a poor start.
