Royals Win, 5-3, at Honolulu
Spirited fans greeted the Honolulu Rays for their clash with the Montreal Royals.

Montreal starter Louis Melman had a strong outing against the Honolulu Rays at Honolulu Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. Melman, now 3-5, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs.

Montreal relied on the hitting of Juan Méndez to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royals on top, 3-0. For the game, Méndez had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We did a lot of things right," said Méndez.

The Royals, at 33-21, lead by one game in their division.
