| Eagles Trip Miners, 8-5, in Extra Innings | Washington catcher Howdy Oakes was instrumental in helping the Eagles triumph, 8-5, over the Pittsburgh Miners. Oakes went 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The loss makes Pittsburgh 70-52.
Had Oakes not come through in the top of the 11th, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Oakes hit a 3-run home run. The Eagles took the lead, 8-5, and never looked back.
"We took home the win," said Oakes. "What's not to like?"
