The Washington Eagles had to overcome a big game from Brooklyn first baseman Oscar Gonzalez to leave Flatbush Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 11-5. Gonzalez was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The winner was Curt Kirkley, who threw 91 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 6 hits. Washington is now 34-44, Brooklyn 37-40.

The Eagles benefited from an error in the top of the fourth inning. Washington was leading 7-2 when Ed Cook hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put Washington in front, 9-2.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Cook said after the game.
