Montreal went 5-2 on the week to pull back to .500. The Saints are in the middle of an 18 game road trip (on which they've gone 7-4 thus far). Seven more road games (2 in Cleveland, 4 in Philadelphia, and 1 in Brooklyn) remain before they can head back to Parc Cartier.
Tattersall hit two more home runs this week, increasing his baseball leading total to 9. Carl Martin of Cleveland is 2nd in the Continental Association with 5.
Bill Morris and George Scott were removed from the rotation, and the pitching staff stepped up big. Though it wasn't always pretty, Sam Young won both of his starts on the week. John Newton was returned to Minneapolis without throwing a pitch for Montreal as young Andy Chastain was claimed off of waivers from the Boston Minutemen. Chastain will pitch out of the Montreal bullpen for now so the coaching staff can see what they have to work with.
