Monarchs Rally For 8-7 Win
The Cincinnati Monarchs had to overcome a big game from Montreal shortstop Dave Dye to leave Queen City Grounds II with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-7. Dye went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The Monarchs raised their record to 52-45.

The Monarchs got a big hit from pitcher Norm Mason. In the bottom of the eighth, Mason smacked a 2-run triple off Montreal pitcher John Babbitt. It was his 2nd triple of the season. Suddenly, the Monarchs were ahead, 8-7.

"When I'm in the lineup, I always feel like we're going to win the game," said Mason.
