Hudson Leads Habitants to 8-7 Win Over Drillers
The Houston Drillers and Montreal Habitants provided some drama for the home crowd.

The Montreal Habitants topped the Houston Drillers, 8-7, in American Baseball League action at Sam Houston Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Montreal third baseman Ed Hudson. The Habitants move to 20-18 with the win, while the Drillers drop to 17-20.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Marvin Walker? The Montreal catcher had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put the Habitants on top, 8-7. For the game, Walker had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon.
