THIS DAY IN RED WINGS HISTORY

1990 - Rochester catcher Chris Hoiles went 2-for-4 in the Wings' 10-2 victory over Indianapolis, raising his International League leading batting average to .380. However, Hoiles had to receive sixteen stitches over his left eye after being hit in the face by a pitch in the eighth inning. The win was also pitcher Ben McDonald's first in AAA, as he pitched six shut out innings.

THIS DAY IN INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE HISTORY

1961 - One of the most bizarre team nicknames in IL history is born when the San Juan Marlins club is transferred to Charleston, West Virginia to finish the 1961 season. Although "Senators" was an established nickname of previous Charleston teams, the club agrees to keep the name "Marlins" to save money on uniforms. Despite the fact there aren't many marlins swimming through the rivers of West Virginia, club officials justified the name by pointing out that local hunters often carried Marlin rifles! The Charleston Marlins, led by fiery manager Joe Schultz, went on to an impressive 88-66 record but lost to Buffalo in the first round of the Governors' Cup Playoffs. Following the season the franchise moved back south to Jacksonville. Charleston would again host International League baseball in the 1970's and early 1980's as the "Charlies".
