Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 31-year old shortstop Kermit Nelson had a real shot to win the game. Washington pitcher Ronald Langford was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Nelson hit a 2-run single. The Westerners had a walk-off triumph.

"This place was rockin'," said Nelson.
