Russ Meyer(7-7) had a steady outing. He allowed 6 hits and 2 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings and surrendered 2 homeruns. Washington tried unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th. Meyer got help from Tom Ferrick who earned his 12th save. Don Newcombe(6-9) was the losing pitcher. Dan Polis was beaming after the game, 'Not only were we making good contact, but a lot of balls we hit seemed to have 'eyes'! I just love winning these tight ones! It was just our evening - no doubt about it!'
