Runs were plentiful at Queen City Grounds II.

The Montreal Tigers outscored the Cincinnati Monarchs, 10-9. Among the hitting stars was catcher Tom Fowler. Fowler, who leads the IA in RBI with 84, was 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Montreal's record now stands at 60-48, placing them third in the International Association.

Montreal won the game in part because of Crab Shelton. The first baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 10-1. For the game, Shelton had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Both teams had plenty of clutch hits," said Fowler. "It made for an exciting game."
