Giants Win, 7-3, in 14
Led by Chris Lutz, the Detroit Giants defeated the Cleveland Brawlers, 7-3. Lutz went 2-5 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Giants. Nick Turpen snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2 innings. He's now 1-4 on the season. The Giants, at 54-47, lead by one game in their division.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 24-year old shortstop Glenn Valentine. Valentine had a run-scoring double in the top of the 14th inning to put the Giants ahead, 4-3. For the game, Valentine had 2 doubles and 1 single in 7 at-bats.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Detroit manager Sean O'Leary.
