Pittsburg scored 6 runs in the decisive bottom of the 3rd inning when they came up with 6 base hits. The big moment was provided by Willie Clark who thrilled the crowd when he doubled clearing all three ducks off the pond. Washington had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Jesse Tannehill(18-6) went 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 8 runs for the victory. Jim Gardner got the save, his 2nd. Win Mercer(6-10) was the losing pitcher. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 16 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings. Arthur Irwin was in a contemplative mood after the tough loss, 'It is really hard to lose this kind of a game. It may seem weird to some, but it is easier to take the occasional blow-out loss. It is the ones that just barely get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
