| Saints Win Squeaker, 2-1, Over Imperials | Jim Montgomery, who finished 3rd in the CA in ERA with 2.65 in 1956, never let the Imperials get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his sinker, to pitch the Saints to a win, 2-1. Montgomery got the win, improving to 5-8. He gave up 5 hits and walked 0 over 8 innings. He allowed 1 run. The losing skid has reached 6 games for New York.
Bob Vernon had a direct impact on the outcome. Vernon contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Montreal up, 2-1.
"Jim's not intimidated by who's stepping into the batter's box," said Montreal manager Johnny Gilbert.
