Montreal Habitants third baseman Joe Rafferty was the difference-maker at Wolverine Field, as he led his club to victory in a pivotal Game 5 of the Divisional Round. The Habitants took the 10-7 win over the Detroit Wolverines to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Roberto Alvarez drove in one run against the Wolverines. With the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, he hit a sacrifice fly that put Montreal in front, 8-7.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Rafferty.

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, October 6th , 1970 at LaSalle Stadium in Montreal.
