Cleveland Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The 5-4 Cleveland win over Montreal was due in large part to Frenchy Sonntag. The Foresters center fielder went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Montreal is 11-8 after the defeat.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Sonntag hit a fastball from Skinny Green for a run-scoring single. The Foresters, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This game was intense," Sonntag said, postgame.
