GAME 2 - 47-BKN 6, 53-BKN 3
Ralph Branca vs Preacher Roe

2 out pinch hit HR

A 2 run homer in the bottom of the 2nd by Spider Jorgensen broke the ice.  A 3 run shot by Jackie Robinson looked to put the game away as the '47 team was up 7-0.  '53's firepower once again brought them back into the mix as they answered '47's 4 run 7th with 3 runs of their own.  Bobby Morgan's 2 out pinch hit double gave them life.  Branca, who was tossing a shutout until this point, was able to regroup and shut out the '53 lineup for the final 2 frames to get a 6-3 complete game victory.  The top of the '47 lineup (Furillo/Stanky/Robinson) went a combined 7 for 15.
Series tied at 1-1
