World Series Game 2 - "Cardinal bats gone fishing"

October 20, Game 2, at Sportsman Park
Dizzy Trout (8-2, 2.06) vs Mort Cooper (6-2, 2.09)
Shut out the Cardinals


Cardinal manager Erik Nelson had to be wondering what was going on.  The Cardinals barnstormed through the National League, seemingly able to score runs at will.  But yesterday they only managed one run and today Virgil Trucks never faced more than 4 batters in any one inning.  The Tigers struck for 5 runs in the first two innings and never looked back.  Greenberg doubled home two runs in the first and scored on Rudy York's double.  The Tigers added two more in the second one coming after Dizzy Trout smacked a one out triple.  But the story was not Dizzy's bat but his arm.  The Tigers take a 2-0 Series lead back to Detroit.  Tigers 5  Cardinals 0
Tigers lead series 2-0
