The Senators provided scoring support to enable Pete Broberg to defeat the Brewers, 6-1. When the Senators picked up a run in the second inning on a single by Dick Billings, a stolen base and two errors, the tally was the first they had scored for their bonus rookie from Darmouth in 20 innings.

The Brewers tied the count in the third on a single by Bob Heise and double by Tommy Harper, but the Nats went ahead to stay in their half when Tim Cullen and Del Unser singled and Lenny Randle hit a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
