| Wolves Earn Late Win | The Toronto Wolves claimed a close win over the Chicago Cougars, due in large part to Jim Hunter. The Toronto right-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-1 win. Hunter yielded 1 run over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 4. His record improves to 6-5. Toronto has run its win streak to 6 consecutive.
Had Heinie Pearce not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Pearce hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Wolves.
"At the end of the day, it's about putting up zeros," said Hunter.
