Slumping Canadiens Lose Again
Hartford Matadors pitcher Nate Benson was in fine form, leading his team past the Montreal Canadiens, 4-1. In 7.2 innings, Benson surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 4. He allowed no runs. Now 26-74, Montreal has lost 14 in a row.

Roy Blaylock took Montreal hurler Jeff Groves deep in the top of the third. His 2-run home run put the Matadors on top, 2-0. In all, Blaylock had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"Bottom line," said Montreal skipper Danny Mendez, "we didn't play well enough to win."
