Habitants Top Hawks, 5-3
Montreal parlayed a decent outing from starter Manny Esparza into a solid win over the Chicago Hawks. The final score was 5-3. The win went to Al Johns in relief, making him now 1-0. Alberto Vinueza took the loss for Chicago. Eric Roe was credited with the save for Montreal, his 1st of the season.

Charlie Bartels came through with a big-time hit for Montreal. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We took home the win," said Esparza. "What's not to like?"

The Habitants, now 2-0, have played some good baseball in the early going.
