Terriers Win to Extend Series Lead to 2-0
When the stakes were high, Harry Vickers raised his game to match.

The right-handed Vickers turned in a stellar performance in Game 2 of the World Series today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Boston Terriers to victory. He allowed 10 hits and struck out 2. The win gave Boston a 2-0 lead over the Chicago Traders in the best-of-7 series.

Boston used a timely hit from Roy McDonald to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Terriers ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"By the skin of our teeth, man," McDonald told the Boston Daily News. "But hey, it still counts. A few more by the skin of our teeth is fine with me."

The next game is scheduled for Sunday at Atlantic Avenue Grounds. The scheduled starters for the game are Eduardo Rodriguez for the Chicago Traders and Bob Griffin for the the Boston Terriers.
