Wright Leads Knickerbockers to 8-4 Win Over Eagles
The New York Knickerbockers licked the Washington Eagles, 8-4. Steve Wright deserved a big chunk of the credit. The second baseman was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 7 for the Knickerbockers. New York, at 33-21, occupies first place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Steve Wells was 1-3 with a walk for New York. The 29-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring walk off Alex Fonseca. It was his 21st walk of the season.

"It was a solid, all-around game for us," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
