Empires, Seagulls Play 10 to Settle Game 2, New York Now Leads Series 2-0
A big day at the plate from center fielder Les George was not enough to keep the New York Empires from extending their lead in the League Championship Series. The Empires topped George and the San Francisco Seagulls 6-4 at Mission Field today in Game 2, and now hold a 2-0 edge in the best-of-7 series. George was 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once and was named player of the game in the loss.

Jim Breslow's hit in the top of the tenth was a game-changer. With one out, he rapped a slider from Al Baker for a run-scoring single. It put New York in front, 5-4.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Breslow.

The next game is scheduled for Friday in New York. Slated to start are Mike Booth for the San Francisco Seagulls and Howie Barth for the the New York Empires.
