| Eagles Score Late, Stun Miners, 10-3 | The Washington Eagles defeated the Pittsburgh Miners, 10-3, at Columbia Stadium. Washington center fielder Rats McGonigle had a superb performance. He was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. With the win, Washington upped its record to 72-61.
The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Tom Miller came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Pittsburgh pitcher Roland Stewart, he hit a 1-0 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 4-3.
"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Eagles," said McGonigle.
