Habitants Take Home 3-2 Win Over Houston
Montreal turned a good effort from starter Bob Schar into a win over the Houston Drillers at LaSalle Stadium. The final score was 3-2. Eric Roe wrapped it up, recording his 3rd save. The first-place Habitants have won 4 in a row.

Montreal catcher Marvin Walker contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With two down, he hit a sinker to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 19th hit of the season and put the Habitants ahead, 3-0.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Houston manager Steven Palps.
