The Chicago Traders topped the Washington Eagles by a score of 13-2. Leading the way was first baseman John Sledd. Sledd was 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for the Traders. Picking up the win was Larry Cox. He went 8.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 4 and walked 4. The Eagles have now dropped 5 straight.

Sledd had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second to put Chicago in front, 3-0. With the bases loaded, he hit a 2-run single off Washington pitcher Dave Alexander.

"Chalk one up for the good guys," said Sledd. "I'm sure our fans enjoyed that win."
