Tigers Win, 13-4, Over New York
Dave Appling, who is on pace to win 24 games this season, propelled his team to victory over the New York Excelsiors. The final score was 13-4, Montreal. The Tigers raised their record to 49-27.

Charlie Patterson had a big 2-run triple for the Tigers in the top of the first inning. With Montreal leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Grant Dorsey and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 3rd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tigers ahead, 3-0.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Appling.
