Division Series Game 2 - Night Results

Slam Dumps 7, Big Dan 1
Unlike the score might suggest, this was a tough fought game on both sides of the diamond. Scoreless through six, Newark finally broke through with one in 7th, two in 8th, and four in the 9th. Star center fielder Mickey Mantle homered and Sheree Magee drove in 3.

The story of the game was the apparent arm injury to Randy Johnson. Cruising, he was pulled from the game in the 4th and is expected to miss 10 days.

Didgeridoos 9, Handbasket 2
Outscored 24-4 in two days, things do indeed look bleak for the favored Helena Handbaskets. Unable to stop Didgeridoo first baseman Lou Gehrig (who socked 2 home runs, tripled, and drove in 6) Helena finds themselves down 2-0 and heading on the road for three games.

Eddie Cicotte (9 IP, 6 H, 2 R) picked up the complete game win.
