Gothams Lose, 8-5, in 10 | The Washington Eagles topped the New York Gothams by a score of 8-5 in 10 innings. Leading the way was center fielder Chief Lewis. Lewis was 2 for 4 with a double and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Eagles. Skinny Green, now 3-2, was credited with the win in 2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1. New York is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.
Washington used the timely hitting of Jack Thompson to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Eagles on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Thompson. | |
