CLEVELAND CLIPPERS AT MONTREAL TIGERS

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Cleveland Clippers (26-57) 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 3 0 7 12 4
Montreal Tigers (54-33) 1 2 0 0 1 3 0 1 X 8 11 5
Clippers Handed 8-7 Loss
Spider Burchett made an impact in the 8-7 Montreal win over Cleveland. Burchett, who is tied for 6th in the IA in triples with 12, was 1 for 2 with 3 walks. He scored 2 runs. John Babbitt, the winning pitcher, improved to 11-12. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 12 hits and 7 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2. Montreal is now 54-33, Cleveland 26-57.

Had Tom Fowler not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Fowler hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 8-7, in favor of the Tigers.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Burchett said.
