6-4 Win Gets Hartford to 74-46
Billy Fernandez did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Montreal Canadiens from being beaten, 6-4, to the Hartford Matadors at Oilers Ballpark. Fernandez was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Hartford improves to 74-46 with the win. They lead their division by 5 games.

Hartford used a clutch at-bat from Eric Clayton to capture the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Matadors ahead, 6-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Hartford manager Jesse Heugly was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
