5-for-5 Day for Shelton
Crab Shelton was sizzling at the plate. In a game played at Garrison Common Grounds, the Montreal third baseman blistered the Toronto Provincials for 5 hits in 5 at-bats to pace his club to a good 12-7 victory.

"Shelton was too tough to get out," Provincials skipper said in his postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."

Crab Shelton singled in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, hit a three-run triple in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 9th.

This season, Shelton has delivered 22 hits in 55 at-bats for a .400 average with no home runs. He is getting on base at a .441 clip and his totals also include 10 RBIs and 12 runs scored. This year Shelton has played in 13 games.
