Road Win Lifts New York to 3-2 Lead in World Series
The New York Knickerbockers moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the St. Louis Explorers on the road at Castle Point Field by a score of 9-5. Knickerbockers right fielder Josh Grahn was named player of the game after he went 2 for 5 with a double, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The win gives the Knickerbockers a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the seventh when Grahn hit a bases-clearing double. It propelled the Knickerbockers into the lead, 7-4.

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

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday. Slated to start are Leo Trier for the St. Louis Explorers and Joe Crawford for the the New York Knickerbockers.
