Eagles Get Hard-Earned Win
The Washington Eagles defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 6-5, in National Baseball League action at Monument Field. Jerry Duersch pulled his weight. The 8-year veteran was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Washington reliever Don McCoy picked up the win to move to 2-0. Jose Espinoza suffered the loss. New York, with the loss, is still a hardy 13-5.

Larry Wools was the walk-off hero for Washington. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Eagles second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Wools said.
