| Minutemen Nipped by Eagles, 4-3 | Ed MacNaughton was a major factor in the 4-3 Washington win over Boston. The Eagles right fielder was 4-5 with 4 singles. He scored 3 runs. Bill Kelly picked up the win with 6.1 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 6. On the season, he is now 2-0. Doc Lindley collected his 1st save.
Howdy Oakes, who finished 5th in the FA in batting average with .306 in 1971, had a direct impact on the outcome. Oakes contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fifth inning to put Washington up, 3-1.
In comments to the Washington Today, MacNaughton admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
The win moves Washington to a record of 2-4.
