Behind the hitting of John Conley, the Montreal Habitants clipped the Detroit Wolverines, 5-4. Conley was 2 for 3 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Habitants. Montreal pitcher Eric Roe earned the win, hiking his record to 1-0. Juan Rodriguez suffered the loss. Detroit drops to 2-4.

Caracas, Venezuela-born Oscar Corte came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the seventh, with the bases loaded and the Habitants trailing 4-3, he hit a 2-run single to center to put Montreal on top.

Conley offered a curt "no comment" when asked to discuss the win after the game.
