A double by Larry Biittner and single by Dick Billings in the eighth inning produced the run that enabled the Senators to defeat the Brewers, 4-3. The Senators, who had been held scoreless for 21 innings in meetings with Bill Parsons this season, finally got to the Brewers' rookie for a run in the sixth on singles by Frank Howard and Biittner and an infield out by Billings.
