| Pittsburgh Gets Another L | Jim Baccari was instrumental in his team's 8-3 triumph over the Pittsburgh Miners. The left fielder went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Washington Eagles. Foster Sherman was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 4 hits, with 6 walks and 3 strikeouts. Washington sits in third place in the Federal Association at 55-40.
Baccari had a key at-bat for Washington in the top of the first. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 19th home run of the season and gave Washington an early 3-0 lead.
"This game is going to humble you at times and you've got to man up and deal with it," said Pittsburgh manager Clyde Mathews.
