Eagles Get One-Run Win at Pittsburgh
Starting pitcher Owen Lantz pitched well enough to help the Washington Eagles beat the Pittsburgh Miners, 5-4. Lantz yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 12-3. Washington has now won 4 straight, while the Miners have lost 3 in a row.

Washington used the timely hitting of George Whaley to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Eagles on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I was a little disappointed," said Pittsburgh manager Harry Barrell. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
