Knickerbockers Win to Extend Series Lead to 2-0
The New York Knickerbockers got a strong performance from pitcher John Ambrose, who stymied the visiting Chicago Traders en route to a win, 7-1, in Game 2 of the League Championship Series today. The Traders could never get a bead on the right-handed Ambrose, who threw 8 innings allowing 1 run. The Knickerbockers now hold a 2-0 in the best-of-7 series.

Victor Rojas, the New York shortstop, contributed a run-scoring triple in the bottom of the third inning to make the score 1-0, Knickerbockers. For the game, Rojas was 1 for 4 with a triple.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Knickerbockers manager William Bowen said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

The next game is set to be played Friday, October 7th, 1955 in Chicago. The scheduled starters for the game are Doug Leonard for the New York Knickerbockers and Dave Keen for the the Chicago Traders.
