Traders Win at Home, 7-3
The home crowd had a good time watching the Washington Eagles and Chicago Traders get after it.

The Chicago Traders topped the Washington Eagles by a score of 7-3. Leading the way was third baseman Greg Russell. Russell was 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Traders. Chicago starter Jack Storey was credited with the win after throwing 116 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 6-2.

Had Jimmy Benson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Benson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Traders.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Russell.

At 54-46, the Traders find themselves in third place in the National Baseball League Western Division.
