Fox Goes Wild, But Mounties Win
Justin Fox had a good game, but he could not keep the Franklin Cubs from falling, 12-5, to the Moncton Mounties at Franklin Park. The Franklin second baseman was 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 in the loss. The win was credited to Vito Goretti in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Jim Unknown took the loss. The Mounties, at 17-1, have a record worth flaunting.

Charlie Zimmerman, who is tied for 10th in the NC in RBI with 22, aided the Moncton cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the first. For the game, the first baseman drew 1 walk in 5 plate appearances.

"Everything seems to be clicking right now for us, top to bottom," said Moncton manager Johnny Hoffman.
