15 inning disaster for Brewers- WPK World Series 1971, Game 2
It was a great pitching duel between two of the most celebrated starters in WPK history- Cheol-han Lee and Chris Hernandez in Game 2 of the 1971 WPK World Series, and not surprisingly runs were hard to come by most of the way as the teams finished the regulation 9 innings tied at 1-1.
The bullpens kept things that way through the 10th inning, the 11th inning, the 12th inning, the 13th....well, you get the idea.
Until, in the top of the 15th inning, the Night Train broke through. And boy did they break through. Thanks largely to some wildness on the part of reliever Jaden Francis, including a bases loaded, 2-out walk, and an error on the part of secondbaseman Tanner Yurek, but then capped off by a 2-out Grand Slam off the bat of former Brewer Willie Chavez, Washington blasted the doors off the game.
The Brewers now head to Washington for three games desperately needing to find some offense and at least a pair of road victories to get the series back to Denver.
