Washington did all of it's offensive work in the 8th inning when they tallied 4 runs on 4 hits. The highlight belonged to Joe Dimaggio who electrified Griffith Stadium when he popped a two-run clout over the fence. The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 6th inning. Raffensberger(3-0) allowed 1 run in 8 innings, and picked up the victory. Jim Konstanty earned his 6th save. Allie Reynolds(0-1) was charged with the loss.
