Turning in his first shutout of the season, George Brunet pitched the Senators to a 4-0 victory over the Angels. Great Britain's Prince of Wales and his sister, Princess Anne, attended the game and stayed for five innings. They were accompanied by President Nixon's two daughters, Julie and Tricia, and Julie's husband, David Eisenhower, who works in the Senators' front office.

The Senators entertained their royal visitors by scoring two runs in the first inning on a single by Del Unser, a pass to Frank Howard, single by Mike Epstein and overthrow of third by Billy Cowan on Epstein's hit. The Nats added an unearned run in the seventh and wound up the scoring with a homer by Aurelio Rodriguez in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
