Giffey, Aaron back to back HR power Otherton in 4-2 win


World Series Game 2
Otherton Fishbiscuits @ Bertrand Island Carnies


Addie Joss showed why the voters chose him as the NL Cy Young and the Fishbiscuits hit back to back home runs in Game 2 of the ATB XIV World Series.  With the win, the series tied at 1 and after an off day the two teams head to Otherton for game 3 tomorrow night.

The Fishbiscuits scored in the first thanks to a Bill Terry lead off triple and two innings later outfielders Hank Aaron and Ken Griffey Jr. hit back to back solo home runs off Carnie starter Curt Schilling.  The 3 run lead was all Joss and the bullpen would need.

For their part, the Carnie's hit lead off solo homers in the 5th and 6th to cut the lead in half at 4-2, but Joss and ultimately the relievers Al Grabowski and Kent Tekulve retired 12 of next 13 batters in a row, ending the game.

Jason Schmidt (13-9, 3.06) takes the mound in game 3 for the Carnies.  He'll face Lefty Stewart (12-14, 3.80).
