No matter what the Minneapolis Millers threw at him, Ralph Weatherbee hit it. He easily handled Millers pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Eagles triumph, 10-4, at Columbia Stadium.

"The way I was swinging, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Weatherbee's quip, Millers skipper Frank Vance said he "would take him up on that next time."

Ralph Weatherbee singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 7th.

This season, Weatherbee is batting .340 with 53 hits and 2 home runs. He has scored 36 times and has 17 RBI.
