It’s the rubber game here at the big A between two teams dwelling toward the bottom of the standings. Both teams desperate for a win , not to mention the downtrodden Pete Richert.

Top one the Cap City boys get off fast, Saverine singles and flies home on a triple by lead footed Jim King, surprising the official scorer didn’t rule that a hit and an error. Angels went down in order in the first but loaded the bases on three singles but came away empty. Bottom 3, Fregosi tied the score with a solo shot, his third. Angels took the lead in the 5th, adding three, Cardinal tripling in a lair then scoring on a Reichardt single. Playing with pride, the Nats came right back in the top of the 6th as a pair of walks put two on. Valentine grounded into a Dp and when King lifted a fly to left the inning looked over but Reichardt somehow dropped the easy fly allowing a run to score. Hondo then teed off on McGlothlin driving a two run bomb into the lower box seats in left tying the game. Top 8 with Bill Kelso in, Howard went yard again putting the visitors up two. A Knoop single got the Halos within one but that is where it would end, the Senators getting 2 of 3 before heading East.

Darrell Knowles came on in relief in the 8th after the Knoop single to face Don Mincher and picked off Knoop to end the inning, Reichardt has a 7 game hit streak where he is batting .519 going 14 finer 27. Knoop had 5 RBIs in the series.
