With Randall Clark seemingly destined to get over the .400 mark, much of the attention fell to the Detroit Wolves vs. NY Imperials game and Stephen Cain. The Imperials, as always, had already booked their ticket to the Big Series (again), and had a 112-49. The Wolves, however, had had a far less impressive season, 72-89. Interest in the Detroit area, however, was high enough that, for the first time ever, a local radio station decided to broadcast the game to the fortunate few who had radio sets.
To the mound for the Imperials was Ken French. He was 17-7 since getting called up from Scranton that season, and finally had gotten a permanent spot in the rotation.
Cain was originally going to be left out of the lineup, but asked on, saying he didn't want to get the .400 while sitting out the final game. So he was placed in left field, batting third.
