Turner Helps Saints Win, 4-3, with Pair of Homers
Dixie Turner led Montreal to a win over Cleveland. The final score was 4-3. The Live Oak, Florida native collected 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. Roy Wheeler earned the save for Montreal, his 2nd of the year. Montreal's record now stands at 17-24, placing them last in the Continental Association East.

Turner had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 0-1 fastball from Dick Couture, he banged a solo home run to right-center, giving the Saints a 4-3 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Turner.

"Everything is going good for me," said Turner.
