Atlanta Dispatched, 8-3, by Washington
Washington pitcher Kirk Griffith had a large part in his team beating the Atlanta Hammers, 8-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. In 6 innings, Griffith surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. The triumph makes Washington 13-10, as the team begins another long trek toward the playoffs in 2026.

Nick Castellanos had a big bases-clearing double for the Nationals in the bottom of the second inning. With Washington leading 2-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from fireballing right-hander Les Hampson and swatted a double to right. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Nationals ahead, 5-0.

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