Montreal Downs Detroit, 3-2
In a tight tilt between the Montreal Habitants and the Detroit Wolverines, Oscar Rodela was the deciding factor. The Montreal right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. In 8 innings, Rodela surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 5. He allowed 2 runs. Al Johns, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 17th save.

With Montreal leading 2-0 in the bottom of the second, Rodela hit a run-scoring single off Detroit hurler Doug Fiorentino. It was the 9th hit of the season for Rodela and put his team ahead, 3-0.

Rodela called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."

Montreal sits in second place in the American Baseball League Eastern Division at 46-36.
