McLaughlin Helps Detroit Cruise to 11-3 Win
The Detroit Giants handed the Carolina Reapers a sound defeat, 11-3, at Ballpark of Detroit. Steve McLaughlin, who finished 2nd in the AC in RBI with 110 last year, was a main contributor to the win. He was 4 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 4 runs for Detroit. The winning pitcher was Nick Turpen. He's now 12-6. He went 7.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits for the Giants. Tony Wooten earned the save for Detroit, his 3rd of the year.

The Giants got an important contribution from shortstop Edward Salgado, who in the bottom of the eighth punched a 0-1 curveball to right-center for a bases-clearing double. It was his 25th double of the season and put the Giants ahead, 11-3.

"Big team win," McLaughlin said later.

After today's action, Detroit sits at 66-58; Carolina slips to 55-69.
