Almost There: Philadelphia On Cusp of WS Triumph After 5-2 Win
The Philadelphia Quakers moved to within one game of the Round 3 today, downing the visiting San Francisco Seagulls at Penn's Landing Park by a score of 5-2. Quakers right-hander Alex Geary was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball. The win gives the Quakers a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Lee Underwood aided the Philadelphia cause with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the center fielder was 1 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"There was a kid in the stands with a sign that said 'Philadelphia Quakers (probably) 1946 World Series Champions'," Underwood told reporters after the game. "I told him, 'Premature, but I like the confidence.'"

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Penn's Landing Park in Philadelphia. Slated to start are Paul Burke for the San Francisco Seagulls and Hugh Zipp for the the Philadelphia Quakers.
