Brahmins Rally Late to Nip Tigers
Boston registered a win at Brahmins Grounds by beating the Montreal Tigers, 7-6. Pitcher Ken Burns was one reason why the Brahmins triumphed. Burns got the win, improving to 5-9. He gave up 4 hits and walked 4 over 9 innings. He allowed 6 runs. Boston's record now stands at 60-55, placing them 5th in the International Association.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Roland Johnson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Montreal pitcher Jack Kerwin, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Boston on top, 7-6.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Boston manager .
