| Foresters Fall to Montreal, 5-3 | Montreal second baseman Dixie Turner was a significant contributor in his team's 5-3 triumph over the Cleveland Foresters. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Saints. Montreal has 3 straight wins, Cleveland 8 straight losses.
The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Turner delivered big-time for Montreal, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Bob V James. The game-changing hit put the Saints on top, 4-3.
Cleveland manager Ray Parsons, after yet another defeat, remained upbeat. He said: "We're going to get out of this thing, we're going to come busting through."
