Saints Cut Down Kings, 4-3
With catcher Jess Garman leading the charge, the Montreal Saints defeated the Kansas City Kings, 4-3, at Parc Cartier II. Garman, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1947 draft, went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. Ken Crossley closed the door for Montreal, picking up his 4th save of the year. Montreal is now 70-73, while Kansas City is 83-58.

Had Howdy Calderone not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Calderone hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Saints.

Calderone called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
