Habitants Get Thrilling 6-5 Win
Montreal beat Houston at Sam Houston Field, escaping with a 6-5 win in 12 innings. The win in large part was due to third baseman Ed Hudson. He was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a walk. Al Johns, now 5-5, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 1. Hervé Lelièvre converted his 8th save in 10 tries.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Jeff Murchison came to bat in the top of the 12th. Facing Houston pitcher Gary Dale, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 6-5.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Hudson said.

The Habitants have now reeled off 9 straight wins.
