Habitants Stomp Terriers, 14-3
The Montreal Habitants blasted the Boston Terriers, 14-3. Don Hill was one of the hitting stars. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for Montreal. Montreal, at 72-50, occupies first place in the American Baseball League Eastern Division.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the third. That's when Hill hit a splitter from Bruce Shurtleff for a run-scoring single, putting Montreal up, 2-1.

Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon commended his team for "putting the hammer down."
