The Cincinnati Packers weathered an outstanding game by Washington catcher Jesus Olvera to topple the Eagles, 6-4. Olvera went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Fernando Lopez got the win, improving to 5-0. He pitched 8.1 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 3. Brian Williams nailed down his 7th save.

In the top of the ninth, Jerry Duersch stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Eagles were trailing 6-4, but had the bases loaded. That's when Brian Williams made a terrific pitch and Duersch struck out. Gone was the dream of a Washington comeback.

The Packers improved their record to 19-17 with the win over Washington.
