Finally, Detroit pulled the game out in the 10th inning. Ben Oglivie drew a walk. Phil Mankowski followed and he drew a walk. Tom Veryzer then laid down a sacrifice bunt. Bruce Kimm followed and he lined a single giving Detroit the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. Although they lost, Toronto did out-hit Detroit 8 to 5.
