Lords Rough Up Habitants, 9-1
The Baltimore Lords handed the Montreal Habitants a loss at LaSalle Stadium. The final score was 9-1. John Balliet was one of the major contributors for Baltimore. In addition to his 2 singles and 2 home runs, he scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Larry Diego, the winning pitcher, improved to 4-1. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 6 hits and 1 run, while striking out 7 and walking 2. The Lords raised their record to 15-7.

Baltimore used a well-timed hit by Woodie Scheideler to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Lords ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"John was ready to go. Big day for him," said Baltimore manager Steve Read.
