Montreal Loses, 6-4, to Hartford in 10
A 3-RBI performance from shortstop Joe Pettit, who is tied for 3rd in the SC in RBI with 62, led the Hartford Matadors to a win over the Montreal Royals, 6-4. Mike Hernandez, credited with the win in relief, is now 6-4. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Vinny Padilla recorded the save, his 5th.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Dan Price came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Montreal pitcher Jonathan Bell, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Hartford on top, 6-4.

"This game is about whoever is putting up more runs," said Matadors manager Jesse Heugly. "Simple as that."

The 73-34 Matadors have won 11 games in a row.
