Habitants Get Clutch 6-5 Win
The Montreal Habitants picked up a win at LaSalle Stadium, knocking off the Twin Cities Northmen, 6-5. Starting pitcher Manny Esparza was a big reason why. Al Johns, now 2-2, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Montreal raised its record to 26-23 with the win.

Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 24-year old shortstop Billy Powers had a real shot to win the game. Twin Cities pitcher Rick Lindstrom was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Powers hit a run-scoring single. The Habitants had a walk-off triumph.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Powers.
