Tigers Clipped, 6-4
The Cincinnati Monarchs topped the Montreal Tigers, 6-4, with first baseman Ed Ford playing a big role. Ford was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs for the Monarchs in the win. Ashton Slake was the winner. Over 9 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 13 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. The Monarchs, at 64-71, sit in 5th place in the International Association.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of Jim Lacasse to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Monarchs on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Ford.
