Detroit Wolverines (12-6 .667 2 GB in 3rd place in the Liberty League) at
Troy Haymakers (13-5 .722 2nd place)
We begin a 5 game set with manager/CF John Confair (31-6.6) and his Haymakers today, interrupted by a short one game trip back to Boston on Wednesday. The Haymakers lead the Liberty League with 7.1 runs scored per game (Detroit is 5th with 5.1), They are tied for first in runs allowed with 4.0 per game (Detroit is 3rd with 4.3). The Troy Ball Club Grounds is a good place for hitters to ply their trade.
I called up CF Dusty Godwin (25-6.7) to play center and lead off against right-handers.
Tommy Shearin, Det. (27-5.7) (R 0-1 3.86 12.2-1.9-1.9 H-BB-K/9) vs. Sal DeVaux, Troy (30-3.5) (R 1-2 2.67 6.0-2.0-4.3)
