Congrats to Mighty Moats! Well deserved.
Gitmo!!
I uploaded the entire game on YouTube. Video quality is not good as it was recorded on tape at the LP speed. It's pretty dark and I can't recall how the lights were in 2004. I taped a basketball game four months later and it was fine (for VHS tape). It was Fresno's production recorded from channel 21 in Shreveport.

Ennis Telfair Oakes was born in 1883 in the Arizona community near Lisbon, Louisiana and attended Tech—then called Louisiana Industrial Institute—sometime between 1902 and 1908. The exact dates are a little vague since no team records exist from that period. It appears Oakes may have attended Tech around the minor league baseball season as he played on teams throughout the country.
