Tigers Get Clutch Win, 6-5
The Montreal Tigers beat the Cincinnati Monarchs, 6-5, in part because of first baseman Crab Shelton. He went 3-5 with 2 triples. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The Tigers now have a record of 37-22.

Shelton had a game-changing triple in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Ashton Slake, he banged a run-scoring triple to right-center, giving the Tigers a 6-5 lead. It was the 9th triple of the year for Shelton.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Shelton.
