In 9 innings, Crooks surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. Chicago, now 35-42, holds down 6th place in the Continental Association.
With Chicago leading 2-1 in the top of the eighth, Crooks hit a 2-run single off Montreal hurler Tom Fisher. It was the 2nd hit of the season for Crooks and put his team ahead, 4-1.
