Imperials Fall, 9-1, to Steinbach, Saints
Ken Steinbach impressed in the 9-1 Montreal win over New York. Steinbach, who is tied for 9th in the CA with a .307 batting average, went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. The third-place Imperials dropped to 72-71.

Steinbach contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Montreal in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 1-0, Steinbach took a changeup from Emmett Thornton and stroked the home run to center. His 8th home run of the season allowed the Saints to leap in front, 2-1.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Steinbach. "And not try to do too much."
