Generals Stumble, Losing to Habitants, 8-2
Habitants left fielder Jerry Sullivan put his stamp on his team's 8-2 win over the Atlanta Generals. Sullivan went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 3 runs for Montreal in the contest. The winning pitcher was Erv Koenig. He tossed 101 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. Montreal has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Darrell Miller had a big 3-run home run for the Habitants in the bottom of the third inning. With Montreal leading 2-1 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a changeup from Damon Rutherford, who finished 5th in the NBL in ERA with 2.58 in 1965, and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Habitants on top, 5-1.

"We're playing like we're capable of," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon.
