Late Rally by Federals Secures 3-2 Win
In a low-scoring affair between the Washington Federals and the Indianapolis Westerners, pitcher Tom Ewart was the difference between victory and defeat. The Washington right-hander earned kudos in the 3-2 Federals win. Ewart yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 1-0. The victory makes Washington 1-1.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Charlie Patterson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Indianapolis pitcher Wilton Strickland, he hit a first pitch changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Washington on top, 3-2.

Ewart attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
