Game 2 features a matchup between New York’s Bill Bonham (16-13, 3.33) and Seattle’s Don Gullet (21-8, 3.38). After the slugfest of Game 1, both pitchers were on their game early as the first hit didn’t occur until a 2-out Ruppert Jones single in the bottom of the 4th inning.

In the top of the 6th, Yankee left fielder became the first runner to reach scoring position when he led off the inning with a walk and stole second. Unfortunately for Seattle, Don Gullet left the game with an undisclosed injury after giving up the walk to Henderson. After Dave Geisel got the first out, Enrique Romo came to get Don Money for out #2 but gave up a single to Mike Schmidt which scored Henderson for the first run of the game.

Seattle bit back in the bottom of the 7th and took a 2-1 lead thanks to a pair of solo homers from Richie Zisk and Tim Wallach. Ken Reitz led off the 8th for the Yankees with a single but Seattle brought in Rich Gossage to counter and a strikeout followed by a tailor-made 4-6-3 ended the threat by New York.

In the bottom of the 8th, Seattle increased their lead when Paul Molitor tripled after a John Stearns single to make the score 3-1. Paul Molitor scored the 4th Seattle run when Don Money muffed a grounder by Richie Zisk.

Down 4-1, New York started the 9th with 2 straight walks to chase Rich Gossage in favor of closer Tom Gorman. The lefty Gorman promptly gave up a double to pinch-hitter Darrell Evans scoring Don Money and putting men on 2nd & 3rd with no outs! A strike out of Joe Wallis followed by a pop out of George Vuckovich brought up Jim Norris with men on 2nd & 3rd with 2 outs. Tom Gorman slipped a 3-2 fastball by Norris to preserve the win and give Seattle a big 2-0 lead as we head to New York for Game!

Tom Gorman wins the player of the game earning the save (2) by getting out of the big 9th inning jam to give Enrique Romo (1-0) the win in relief. Bill Bonham (8 IP, 6 hits, 4 runs, 4 K’s,2 BB’s) earns the loss (0-1). What remains to be seen is how serious the injury to Don Gullet is and if he’ll be out for a significant amount of time.
