Grenier, Explorers Sink Knickerbockers Again in Game 2
Riding the 3-hit performance of first baseman Jack Grenier, the St. Louis Explorers got a road win against the New York Knickerbockers, 8-6, in Game 2 of the World Series today. Grenier belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5 for the Explorers, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

Grenier turned the game around in the top of the seventh. That's when the St. Louis first baseman dialed up a 2-run home run. Just like that, St. Louis's 6-5 deficit turned into a 7-6 lead.

"It was a good win," St. Louis manager told BNN reporters after the game. "I told them I was proud of them. These guys are professional ballplayers, they know how to get motivated without my help."

The next game is scheduled for Friday at Castle Point Field in St. Louis. Slated to start are Jack Smith for New York and Jim O'Leary for St. Louis.
