Long, Eagles Wreck Bobcats, 13-1
Rain could not dampen the pregame excitement of Cleveland fans. But the subsequent loss, and a disappointing one at that, to the Eagles had to.

With shortstop Gary Long leading the charge, the Washington Eagles defeated the Cleveland Bobcats, 13-1, at Lakefront Stadium. Long was 3 for 6 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. Washington pitcher Dave Alexander got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Pat Burkholder got the loss.

Long got the Eagles off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run single.

Said losing manager Daniel Mays: "At the end of the day, we've got to play better."

Cleveland now is 1-2.
