New York Downs Montreal, 5-2
The New York Americans picked up a win at Montreal Stadium, knocking off the Montreal Expos, 5-2. Starting pitcher Grant Wolfram played a key role in the triumph. The Americans, at 74-86, sit in 9th place in the American Division.

New York used the timely hitting of Billy McKinney to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Americans ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I thought we played a nice game," McKinney told the New York Bulletin. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
