1876 - World Series Game 2
Posted 01-17-2017 at 05:21 AM by TheEquinox
I made a small adjustment in the lineup, because Davy Force didn't hit in the first game, so Nick Wehman was going to take his spot today. Cleveland started with the same lineup as in game 1:
The game was decided early in the first inning, when Orator Shafer, George Hall, Levi Meyerle and Johnny Ryan - who earned his first World Series appearance today - started the inning off with 4 consecutive hits. A wild pitch and another single hit of Jim H O'Rourke gave us an early 4-0 lead which remained unchanged until the 9th inning, where Cleveland tried to come back, but a throwing error, a wild pitch and two singles by Cap Anson and Jim Brooks were only good enough to avoid the shutout but not enough to take the win tonight. Final result in a rather boring game without many highlights: 4-2
