The Washington Eagles defeated the St. Louis Explorers, 9-6, at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Leading the charge for Washington was right fielder Lee McGee. He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Bobby Holec earned the save for Washington. Washington is now 60-74.

Joe Ballard came through with a big-time hit for Washington. The left fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 9-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Eagles," said Ballard.
