Habitants Deal Generals 4-2 Loss
Montreal picked up a win at Atlantic Station Field, bumping off the Atlanta Generals, 4-2. Pitcher Manny Esparza was a major reason the Habitants emerged victorious. Esparza, the winner, moves to 6-6. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. By defeating Atlanta, the third-place Habitants improved to 44-35.

Grammercy Locke, who finished 2nd in the NBL in triples with 15 in 1955, had a direct impact on the outcome. Locke contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put Montreal up, 3-2.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Atlanta skipper Philipe Yazzie, "and it cost us."
