In spite of another gutsy performance by the Detroit Falcons (they tied the game at 2-2 in the 4th inning on a squeeze play!), the Chicago Fire prevailed at home in Game Two to even the series.
Chicago's best player, Pat Thompson, had been held hitless in his first 7 at-bats of the series but came through with the big hit in this one, a 7th inning double which put the Fire on top for good. Thompson also then scored on a Jose Flores single to make it 4-2, a score which would stand, in spite of Detroit getting the first two batters on base in the top of the 9th against Chicago closer Tyler Criss (groundball single, walk) before being retired via a strikeout and two flyball outs.
