| Minneapolis Drops Another One, 6-4 | Suns first baseman Russ Hawkins put his stamp on his team's 6-4 win over the Minneapolis Millers. Hawkins went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for Los Angeles in the contest. Minneapolis, now 2-28, continues its dreadful start.
Hawkins had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-0 changeup from Bill Parkhurst, he banged a 2-run home run to center, giving the Suns a 6-4 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Hawkins.
"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Hawkins told the Los Angeles Chronicle.
