Game 2: Americans: 3 Pirates: 0 (Series tied 1-1)
WP: Dinneen (1-0)
LP: Leever (0-1)
HR: Dougherty-2 (2)
The Americans tied the World Series at a game a piece behind Bill Dinneen's pitching. Pirate bats could do absolutely nothing against the 27-year-old right hander. He went 21-13 in the regular season with a 2.26 ERA. In Game 2, Dinneen went the full nine innings, allowed three hits, no runs, walked two, and struck out 11. He punched out Claude Ritchey, Bucky Veil, and Jimmy Sebring twice each.
Patsy Dougherty gave Dinneen all the runs he needed in the first. The outfielder led the game off with a home run. Buck Freeman singled in a second run in the opening frame for a 2-0 lead. Dougherty hit another home run in the bottom of the sixth for the game's final score. Dougherty totaled three hits, two runs, and two RBI. Freeman had two hits and a RBI.
The Bucs managed three weak hits against Dinneen. However, Dinneen was not the only pitching story of Game 2. The Pirates started Sam Leever against Boston, but lasted only a single inning. Leever left the game in the second with an injury. Veil replaced the starter and finished the game.
