Boston Wins at Home to Narrow Series Deficit to 3-2
The Boston Terriers have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Chicago Traders, winning 5-2 at Atlantic Avenue Grounds today. Terriers left-hander Jerry Sneed was named player of the game after he threw 8 innings of 4-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Terriers to 3-2 in the best-of-7 World Series.

Jim Spencer, who finished 5th in the AABC in slugging percentage with .546 in 1949, chipped in for Boston with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"Jerry is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Boston manager Clark Anderson.

Game 6 is set to be played Tuesday, October 18th, 1949 at Union Field. Slated to start are John Manders for the Boston Terriers and Dave Keen for the the Chicago Traders.
