| Eagles Subdue St. Louis, 3-2 | The Washington Eagles earned a close win over the St. Louis Pioneers, thanks in part to Jim Heitzman. The Washington right-hander, who is tied for 4th in the FA in innings pitched with 77.0, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. Washington is now 24-20.
Tom Miller, the first overall pick in the 1948 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Miller contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Washington up, 3-0.
"We did a lot of really good things and it was a good win," said Eagles manager Pete Molyneaux.
