Blockbusters Popped by Eagles, 7-3
Eagles right fielder Mike Lockhart left his imprint on his team's 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. Lockhart was 2-3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for Washington in the contest. Washington bumps their record to 64-71 with the win.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 31-year old left fielder Randy Golick. Golick had a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Eagles ahead, 7-1. For the game, Golick had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Lockhart called the win "a team effort."
