Tigers Score Late to Nip Excelsiors, 9-8
The Montreal Tigers topped the New York Excelsiors, 9-8, with youngster Spider Burchett playing a key role. Burchett went 2 for 5 with 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Tigers in the win. New York drops to 8-13.

The Tigers were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 21-year old second baseman Wilbur Dobson landed a big blow. He turned a 1-1 screwball from Candy Lemmons into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the St. Gabriel Grounds II denizens into a frenzy and sent the Tigers home with a thrilling 9-8 win.

"This stadium was a-rockin'," said Burchett.
