Denver Upended by Washington, 8-2
No one was more impactful than Bruce Brosnahan in the 8-2 Washington win over Denver. Brosnahan, who is tied for 6th in the NBL in home runs with 9, went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Bruce Grossman, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. The Eagles now have a record of 17-23 with the win over Denver.

Washington relied on the bat of Larry Wools to get the win. The second baseman ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the second inning to put the Eagles ahead, 6-1. For the game, Wools had 1 double and 1 triple in 4 at-bats.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Brosnahan told the Washington Observer.
