Tigers Keep Streak Alive with Late Rally
The Montreal Tigers picked up a win at St. Gabriel Grounds II, knocking off the St. Louis Pilots, 7-6. Starting pitcher John Babbitt played a key role in the triumph. Babbitt, now 13-13, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 1, walking 3, and allowing 6 runs. The Tigers are now 61-38.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 21-year old second baseman Wilbur Dobson had a chance to be the hero. St. Louis pitcher Zebulon Eldridge wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Dobson reached on an error by the C, driving in 1 run. The Tigers had themselves a thrilling win.

"This game was intense," Dobson said, postgame.
