Eagles Deal Cleveland 6-4 Defeat
Thanks in large part to left fielder Vince Marshall, the Washington Eagles beat the Cleveland Bobcats, 6-4. Marshall went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2. The winner was Dave Alexander, who threw 119 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 7 hits. The win gives Washington a record of 2-2.

Washington took a 6-4 lead on Jesus Olvera's 2nd home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Olvera hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Cleveland pitcher Joe Clabaugh visibly frustrated.

In postgame comments to the Washington Daily News, Olvera said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
