With third baseman Tom Lorang leading the charge, the Washington Eagles defeated the Pittsburgh Miners, 5-4, at Columbia Stadium. Lorang, who is tied for 5th in the FA in home runs with 17, was 1-2 with 3 walks, while scoring 2 times. The Eagles now have a record of 47-34.

Jack Thompson was the walk-off hero for Washington. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Eagles pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We ground out the win," said Lorang. "That's all that matters."
