McDowell 4-5, Otters Move to 1-0
The Savannah Swamp Foxes inaugurated the 1997 campaign with a disappointing 8-5 loss to the Milwaukee Otters at Paradise Grounds. Milwaukee center fielder Oddibe McDowell had a big impact on the outcome. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Mark Clear nailed down his 1st save.

Milwaukee used the timely hitting of Brian Harper to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Otters on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We maximized our offense today," said Milwaukee skipper . "That makes everyone's life easier."
