Slumping Bluebirds Lose 6th Straight
Brooklyn got a terrific game from catcher Jimmy Mara. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Washington, 6-4. Mara was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Curt Kirkley notched his 2nd save of the season. The losing skid has reached 6 games for Brooklyn.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Larry Wools? The former first round draft pick Wools stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Washington up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Wools.
