Hitmen Win, 9-6, Versus Bronx
Wet weather did not postpone the Washington-Bronx ballgame.

Thanks in large part to right fielder Tyler O'Neill, the Washington Hitmen beat the Bronx Bombers, 9-6. O'Neill was 2 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Aroldis Chapman snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-2 on the season. Marc Church suffered the loss.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, O'Neill hit a slider from Marc Church for a 3-run home run. The Hitmen, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," O'Neill told the Washington Bulletin.

By defeating Bronx, the first-place Hitmen improved to 59-62.
