Comets Lose, 5-4, as Eagles Rally
Washington center fielder Don Whited made his presence felt in the 5-4 Eagles triumph over the Houston Comets. Whited was 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Washington reliever Doc Lindley picked up the win to move to 3-6. Harry Taylor suffered the loss. The last-place Eagles now sit at 44-45.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Joe Cantrell? The 32-year old left fielder Cantrell stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Washington up, 5-4. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

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