Bluebirds Beat Washington, 2-1
The Brooklyn Bluebirds did just enough to sneak past the Washington Eagles, 2-1, at Flatbush Park. Brooklyn pitcher Damon Rutherford, in particular, had a standout performance. Brooklyn, at 26-30, occupies 6th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Lenny Wallace was the walk-off hero for Brooklyn. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bluebirds pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Rutherford said.
