The Washington Eagles topped the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 4-3, in National Baseball League action at Monument Field.

Damon Rutherford shouldered the loss. Washington is 27-43 and Brooklyn, with the loss, 41-30.

The decisive blow was delivered by George Kill in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 3-run home run off four-time All-Star Damon Rutherford to win the game for Washington. The home crowd went nuts.

"I just tried to stick to my strengths," said Jimenez.
