Oracles Come Up Short at Montreal, 2-1
The Montreal Royals scored a tight 2-1 win versus the Orlando Oracles at Delorimier Stadium. Montreal pitcher Dave Wiggins held his own in the contest. Wiggins went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 4, and struck out 6. His record improves to 5-2. The save went to Katsunan Ito, number 3 for him.

Had Cleon Jones not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Jones hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Royals.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Montreal manager George Willis.

With the win, Montreal raised its record to 27-15.
