Habitants Walk It Off for 63rd Win of Season
Montreal parlayed a decent outing from starter Rich Barron into a solid win over the Detroit Wolverines. The final score was 4-3. The winner was Al Johns in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Alfredo Morales took the loss. The first-place Habitants, at 63-48, lead the American Baseball League Eastern Division by 3½ games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Oscar Corte in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off fan favorite Alfredo Morales to win the game for Montreal. The home crowd went nuts.

"Rich was able to execute his pitches," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon. "Simple as that."
