- In the second inning, Jack H. (8) turned a double play, catching at first and then throwing to Claire (6) at third, who had the runner trapped and made the tag.
- The Jack H. & Claire double play helped A’s reliever Michael (7), in his second-ever pitching outing, hold the potent Expos offense to two runs.
- A’s Pitchers Ben (4) and Jerome (3) held the Expos scoreless in the third and fourth, respectively.
