Cyclones Squeeze By Washington, 6-5
Capitol Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Chicago Cyclones and Washington Federals.

The Chicago Cyclones beat the Washington Federals, 6-5, at Capitol Park. Chicago third baseman Dick Sebastian had an outstanding performance. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win belonged to Candy Lemmons in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Ronald Langford took the loss for Washington.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Sebastian delivered big-time for Chicago, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Ronald Langford. The game-changing hit put the Cyclones on top, 6-5.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Sebastian told the Chicago Today.

The win makes Chicago 31-40.
