Legislators Beat Vulcans, 8-5
Dennis Catchings, who finished 2nd in the IA in ERA with 2.09 last year, propelled his team to victory over the Pittsburgh Vulcans. The final score was 8-5, Washington. Washington is now 37-67.

Washington used a well-timed hit by Clarence Carter to capture the win. The catcher socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Legislators ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"Dennis pitched like a champ," said Washington manager .
