Brooklyn beat Washington at Flatbush Park, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to first baseman Tom Austin. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win puts Brooklyn at 1-1.

Austin had an important at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the bottom of the sixth, when he hit a 2-run double. The Bluebirds went on to win.

"We'll savor this win," Austin told the Brooklyn Times, "then get ready for the next game."
