Frank Howard drove in four runs in the first game and Del Unser, Bernie Allen and Ed Brinkman each accounted for two RBIs in the second game to lead the Senators to the sweep of a doubleheader with the Yankees by identical 7-3 scores.

In the opener, Howard batted in the Nats' first two tallies with a bases-loaded single in the third inning and highlighted a four-run outburst in the ninth with another bases-loaded hit. Gene Michael homered for the Yankees. In the nightcap, Unser hit for the circuit with a man on base in the first inning and Allen batted in a pair with a single in the second when the Senators added four runs. [The Sporting News]
