5 Straight Wins for Gothams
The first-place New York Gothams took on the Washington Eagles in front of a spirited crowd.

No one was more impactful than George Cleaves in the 9-5 New York win over Washington. Cleaves, who finished 5th in the FA in triples with 13 in 1939, was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The first-place Gothams have won 5 straight.

With New York leading 2-1 in the bottom of the third, Cleaves hit a fastball from Juan Tostado for a 3-run home run. It was his 13th home run of the season and put the Gothams ahead, 5-1.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Cleaves told the New York Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
