Behind a fine performance from Crab Shelton, the Montreal Tigers knocked off the St. Louis Pilots, 6-4. Shelton was 3 for 5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Tigers. Joe Henry picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 31-20. With the win, the Tigers have a record of 70-54.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the seventh, with the game tied, Clipper Smith was at the plate when Montreal scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Tigers to go in front, 5-4.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Smith.
