Eagles Get Clutch Win Versus Denver
|
Denver got a big-time effort from pitcher Bob Langham, but it wasn't enough to keep the Washington Eagles from winning the game, 2-1. Langham threw 7.0 innings of 3-hit ball for the losing team. Washington reliever Curt Kirkley picked up the win, upping his record to 4-2. Frank Combs was saddled with the loss. With this game in the books, Washington is 16-21, Denver 22-16.
The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Ed Cook came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Denver pitcher Frank Combs, he hit a 0-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 2-1.
"Some games build character," said Washington manager Brandon Tucker. "Like this one."
