Washington Gets Another L
In a low-scoring game between the St. Louis Explorers and the Washington Eagles, pitcher Bob Trout was masterful on the mound. The St. Louis right-hander spearheaded his team's 3-1 win. Alex Alonso earned the save for St. Louis, his 9th. The Eagles fall to 10-14 and continue their lackluster start to the 1976 season.

Kevin Campbell hit a 2-run triple off Curt Kirkley in the top of the seventh, which put the Explorers in front, 3-1. Campbell had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 2.

"We just can't get over the hump," said losing manager Brandon Tucker.
