The Toronto Provincials picked up a win at St. Gabriel Grounds II, knocking off the Montreal Tigers, 5-4. Starting pitcher Fred Brody played a key role in the triumph. Brody went the distance for Toronto. He gave up 4 runs on 10 hits. At 2-1, the Provincials have played well so far.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the top of the sixth. That's when Provincials right fielder Merritt Hunter hit a screwball from Joe Henry for a 2-run single. Just like that, Toronto was up, 5-4.

"It's a good day to be a fan after a win like that," Hunter told the Toronto News.
