Hitmen Pull Out Late-Game Win, 6-5
The Washington Hitmen spoiled a good performance by Chicago first baseman Sean Bouchard, bumping off Chicago, 6-5, at RFK Stadium. Bouchard was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win went to Nic Enright in relief, making him now 5-4. Kyle Nelson took the loss for Chicago. The first-place Hitmen have a one-game lead in their division.

The decisive blow was delivered by William Contreras in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 28-year old left-handed pitcher Kyle Nelson to win the game for Washington. The home crowd went nuts.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Contreras said.
