Home Loss Shrinks Seagulls Series Lead to 3-2
Already down in the League Championship Series, the Montreal Habitants put on their best show, beating the San Francisco Seagulls by a final score of 2-0. Manny Esparza was special. He threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball. Montreal now trails San Francisco 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair.

Esparza, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was dealing all game. He kept San Francisco hitters off-balance, while giving the Habitants 8 quality innings. Esparza threw 122 pitches, allowing 6 hits and striking out 4.

"Manny had good arm action, good stuff," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon.

Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at LaSalle Stadium in Montreal.
