Compton Stars in 8-4 Habitants Win
Jim Compton was instrumental in his team's 8-4 triumph over the Baltimore Lords. The right fielder was 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for the Montreal Habitants. Montreal reliever Mark Weeks was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Denny Boyd. Al Johns picked up the save, his 21st.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Compton delivered big-time for Montreal, stroking a dramatic grand slam home run off Denny Boyd. The game-changing hit put the Habitants on top, 8-4.

"Winning is the only thing that really matters," Compton told the Montreal Daily News. "If you can win without even breaking a sweat, more power to you."

The win for the Habitants lifted their record to 47-47.
