Detroit Downs Montreal, 8-6
The Montreal Habitants could not turn a fine performance from third baseman Ed Hudson into a win. Instead, the Detroit Wolverines prevailed, 8-6. Hudson hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Larry Black earned the win for Detroit. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 3. With the win, he raised his record to 12-4. Montreal has now lost 4 in a row.

Detroit used the timely hitting of Randy Cowell to capture the win. The pinch hitter stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Wolverines on top, 8-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but he made it count.

Afterward, Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon said: "We've hit a rough patch."
