Detroit Wolverines (40-23 .635 1st place in the Liberty League) at
Indianapolis Hoosiers (27-39 .409 14.5 GB in 8th (last) place)

Al Rice, Det. (22-7.6) (R 5-1 2.04 8.7-1.2-2.7 H-BB-K/9) vs. Dad Marshall, Ind. (28-4.4) (R 5-8 6.51 12.4-4.2-2.0).

We have not faced Marshall on the season, but if we don't score a pile of runs against this guy, there is no hope. He was just recalled from London of the International League (A) where he was a less-than-impressive 4-3 with a 5.50 ERA during his exile.
