Habitants Rally Late to Nip Empires
Montreal third baseman Ed Hudson had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the New York Empires, 6-5. The win was credited to Mark Weeks in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Arturo Lopez took the loss. Hervé Lelièvre earned the save, his 2nd.

Hudson had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a first pitch slider from Arturo Lopez, he banged a 3-run home run to right-center, giving the Habitants a 6-5 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Hudson.

"We're producers not directors," said Hudson. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."

The Habitants move to 26-24 with the win, while the Empires drop to 31-20.
