Another 2-homer game for Lillie in trouncing of Montreal

Granted the Montreal Royals are the worst team in the WPK, but still a 16-2 drubbing in the rubber match of the series on the road is still nothing to sneer at.

And once again Jerry Lillie (.297/.408/.639) led the way with a pair of homers in a 3-hit night, scoring 3 times and driving in 5 runs.
Catcher Willie Ortega (.231/.254/.349) isn't known for his bat, but lately he's had a couple of games like this: in this one he went 3 for 5, hit his 12th double and 6th home run of the season, and drove in 6 runs.

And starting pitcher Eric Maisch improves to 13-3 and struck out 10 in this one while giving up 2 runs on 5 hits with 1 walk in 7 innings pitched. With a strong finish to the season Maisch could certainly find himself in contention to win his 2nd career Harris/Lee award.
