The Altoona starter for Game Two, Jeff Reynolds, is rated by our scout, Jody Mack, to have below average control and stamina. That’s usually a bad combination. We’re patient. We’ll wait and wait to get to the bullpen. And the Altoona bullpen doesn’t scare us. Jose Vincent pitches for us. Vincent isn’t thought of very highly by Mack either; Mack thinks he can be a useful fifth starter. But he’s had a great year and pushed past Jeff Racine to be our number two. We don’t care if he’s pitching above his head as long as he does it a few more times.

And Vincent is good in Game Two, which goes exactly as the script said it would. Vincent pitches seven innings. Vincent is a fly ball pitcher, and two of them drift over the wall for HRs. The Patriot, Ben Franklin, hits the first, but both it and the next one are solo shots.

In between the two Altoona HRs, Reynolds is throwing behind in the count and racking up a pitch count. We get him in the fourth. A single, double, and three-run homer by Hicks gives us the lead. We run Reynolds out of the game after he gets one out in the fifth. And we add two runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth.

We win 8-2. Makeever and Davilla both drive in two with singles. Davilla had 3 hits on the game. On to Altoona for Game Three.
