Eagles Down Blockbusters, 6-5
The Washington Eagles did just enough to secure a victory over the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 6-5, in 16 innings at Blockbuster Stadium. Nobody did more than left fielder Alan Cassill. The Eagles improved their record to 60-78 by beating Los Angeles.

Cassill had a game-changing double in the top of the 16th. On a first pitch cutter from Tucker Atwood, he banged a run-scoring double to left-center, giving the Eagles a 6-5 lead. It was the 24th double of the year for Cassill.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.
