GAME 2
Erskine vs Walberg
Dodgers 6, A’s 0
The key component for starting
Loes in game 1 was to have ace Oisk (Carl Erskine) start game 2 and not have to face
HOF’er Lefty Grove. This strategy would
only work if Oisk brought his A game and the Dodger bats were able to score
more than just a handful of runs. Mission
accomplished on both fronts. Oisk threw
a tidy 3 hit complete game shutout on 145 pitches and the Dodger bats awakened
to the tune of 6 runs on 12 hits off of A’s starter Rube Walberg and his
replacement Eddie Rommel. Lightly used
reserve George “Shotgun” Shuba made a rare start in left field and responded by
going 3 for 4 with 2 runs scored and ha homer.
Skooonj and Campy knocked it 2 each to knot the series, which was headed
up US-1 toward the Big Apple.
Series tied 1-1
