Skidding Empires Lose 7th Straight
The Montreal Habitants topped the New York Empires, 5-4, in American Baseball League action at LaSalle Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Montreal pitcher and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, native Rich Barron. New York is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.

Jim Compton was the walk-off hero for Montreal. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Habitants right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This game is going to humble you at times and you've got to man up and deal with it," said New York manager Dan Whiting.
