Washington Dismisses Denver, 4-2
The Washington Eagles topped the Denver Burros, 4-2, in National Baseball League action at Gates Crescent Park. The standout performance belonged to Washington pitcher and Chicago, Illinois, native Rick Knuth. Earning his 3rd save for Washington was Tom McAteer. With the win, Washington is 12-13.

Tom McAteer produced at a critical juncture for Washington. It happened in the top of the eighth with Dave Church on the mound and Washington leading 3-2. That's when the 26-year old right-handed pitcher McAteer hit a sacrifice fly.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Knuth said after the game.
