Knickerbockers Win to Extend Series Lead to 2-0
The New York Knickerbockers got a strong performance from pitcher Naman Futch, who stymied the visiting St. Louis Explorers en route to a 5-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series today. The Explorers could never get a bead on the right-handed Futch, who threw 9 innings of 5-hit ball to earn player of the game honors. The Knickerbockers now hold a 2-0 in the best-of-7 series.

Futch gave New York a solid start. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 5 hits over 9 innings.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Futch said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

The next game is scheduled for Friday. The scheduled starters for the game are Will Anderson for New York and Edgar Bath for St. Louis.
