McGee Hits 2 Roundtrippers, Eagles Win, 13-8
The Washington Eagles and New York Knickerbockers lit up the scoreboard.

Washington left fielder Lee McGee played a vital role in his team's 13-8 conquest of New York. He slugged 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 5 for Washington. Curt Kirkley picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Ollie Hundley suffered the loss.

Washington used the hitting of Larry Wools to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Eagles on top, 9-8. For the game, Wools had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Wools, "one at-bat at a time."

The Eagles go to 31-46 with the win.
