  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Washington Eagles (13-7) 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 1 0 11 13 2
Cleveland Bobcats (9-11) 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 4 1
Bobcats Sunk by Eagles
Washington starter Oscar Contreras kept the Cleveland hitters in check, helping his team cruise to a win, 11-1. Contreras, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 5 walks. The Bobcats drop to 9-11 and continue their mediocre start to the 1972 season.

Washington relied on the hitting of Jerry Duersch to pick up the win. The third baseman ripped a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Eagles on top, 2-0. For the game, Duersch had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Said losing manager Daniel Mays: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
