The Washington Eagles defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 2-1, in National Baseball League action at Monument Field. Washington pitcher Tom McAteer had a standout performance. In 6.1 innings, McAteer surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. Richie Kingery notched his 7th save in 11 chances.

Jesus Olvera, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1966 draft, aided the Washington cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the catcher was 2 for 3 with 2 singles.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Olvera, "one at-bat at a time."

Washington has now won 3 straight, while the Knickerbockers have lost 3 in a row.
