Washington took on Chicago in front of a lively crowd.

Eagles first baseman Irv Olson left his mark on his team's 6-2 win over the Chicago Traders. Olson, who finished 4th in the ABL in doubles with 28 in 1968, went 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for Washington in the contest. The win makes Washington 47-55.

Gary Long hit a run-scoring triple off Jimmy Calhoun in the top of the eighth, which put the Eagles in front, 3-2. Long had 2 singles, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 3 for 5.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Long told the Washington Gazette.
