Tigers Take Tight Tilt, 6-5
Led by Buster Brown, the Montreal Tigers defeated the New York Excelsiors, 6-5. Brown was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Tigers. Norm Woods came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 3-0. New York now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the 11th for Montreal. That's when Spider Burchett hit a run-scoring double off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Kiefer to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This place was rockin'," Brown said.
