Novy goes 3-for-4 in Montreal Win
Behind the hitting of Frankie Novy, the Montreal Habitants stopped the Toronto Hurons, 7-6. Novy went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the Habitants. Al Johns sewed up the save, his 1st. The Hurons drop to 5-5 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1975 season.

Montreal used the timely hitting of John Crabtree to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Habitants on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Novy told the Montreal Gazette.
