Suns Victors, 3-1, at Washington | Starting pitcher Jim Foster was a major factor in the 3-1 Los Angeles Suns triumph over the Washington Eagles. The winner was Foster. He threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Walter Paxson. With the win, the Suns improved to 23-29.
Los Angeles took the lead, 3-1, on Bill Burke's 10th home run of the season. The solo home run came off Washington pitcher Walter Paxson in the top of the eighth.
"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Burke told a Los Angeles Chronicle reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax." | |
