Tigers Stop Brahmins, 8-3
The Montreal Tigers knocked off the Boston Brahmins, 8-3, in International Association action at St. Gabriel Grounds II. Montreal pitcher and Ironwood, Michigan, native John Babbitt had an outstanding performance. Montreal goes to 64-39, Boston to 40-63.

The Brahmins had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Tigers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the slugging catcher Tom Fowler came to the plate. Fowler hit a 2-run triple on a 3-1 sinker from Boston hurler Lloyd Dehaan. It was Fowler's 20th triple of the year.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Babbitt told the Montreal Observer. "You win just by scoring more runs."
