Eagles Need Extra Frames to Get Past Explorers
The St. Louis Explorers got a sterling performance from pitcher Bob Trout, but the Washington Eagles still prevailed, 5-3. Trout threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball. The win was credited to 12-year veteran Curt Kirkley in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Marty Clark took the loss. With the win, Washington has a record of 14-19. St. Louis falls to 20-14.

The game was at a stalemate until third baseman Mark Calhoun came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing St. Louis pitcher Marty Clark, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 5-3.

Calhoun attributed the win to his team's "grittiness."
