Manager Elmer Higgins (41-6.4) brings his Bourbons to Detroit today to begin a 4 game series. The 1st time we met, we won 2 of 3 in Louisville a month ago. They are 3rd in runs scored with 6.9 per game (Detroit is still last, but still climbing with 6.1). They are 3rd in runs allowed with 6.4 per game (Detroit is still #1 with 5.0). A very impressive start to their inaugural season.
