Bluebirds Land Close Win
The Brooklyn Bluebirds beat the Washington Eagles by a score of 6-5. Brooklyn right fielder Jackie Cooper deserved the lion's share of the credit. Cooper went 4-5 with a triple and 3 singles. He scored 2 times for the Bluebirds. The win belonged to Kevin Wade in relief. His record improves to 2-2. Richie Kingery took the loss for Washington. At 17-24, Brooklyn is in 6th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

The Bluebirds were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when two-time All-Star Mike LeDuc landed a big blow. He turned a 1-0 fastball from Richie Kingery into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the Flatbush Park denizens into a frenzy and sent the Bluebirds home with a thrilling 6-5 win.

"This place sure got loud," said John Meeker, the Brooklyn manager.
