Extra-Inning Win by Tigers over Senators
The home team gave the Tiger Stadium fans plenty to cheer about, with a thrilling walk-off win.

The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Tiger Stadium, knocking off the Washington Senators, 4-3. Starting pitcher Vaughn Eshelman played a key role in the triumph. Detroit now owns a record of 65-78.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Detroit center fielder Darrin Jackson, facing Milt Hill, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Tigers the 4-3 win.

Eshelman said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
