Eagles Rally Late to Clip Denver
The Washington Eagles trumped the Denver Burros, 6-5, at Monument Field. Washington third baseman Larry Wools was terrific. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Miguel Jimenez picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-2. Dick Scorza, who finished 5th in the NBL in ERA with 2.42 in 1963, was tagged with the loss. The win puts Washington at 19-34.

Wools had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-1 fastball from Dick Scorza, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Eagles a 6-5 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Wools.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Denver manager Clark Anderson. "The effort was great."
