Oakes, Eagles Wreck Millers, 10-2 | The Washington Eagles topped the Minneapolis Millers, 10-2, at Hennepin County Stadium. Washington catcher Howdy Oakes was a spark plug for the offense. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5. The overall performance of the 1963 Millers has been rotten so far.
With Washington leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Oakes hit a fastball from Don Hillshire for a 2-run double. It was his 3rd double of the season and put the Eagles ahead, 3-0.
"I like our moxie," said Eagles manager Roger Cleaves. | |
