Flood 3-for-4, Friend Gets Win
CLEVELAND (Oct. 2) -- Harvey Keunn sent a 2-1 fastball over the fence in left field with Curt Flood aboard, erasing Chicago's lead and putting the Barons on top for good, en route to a 5-4 Game Two win.
Chicago starter George Brunet got into trouble right out of the gate, loading the bases with one out in the first, but managed to escape having allowed just one run, on Moose Skowron's RBI groundout. Chuck Hinton ripped an RBI double the next inning, plating Curt Flood for the second time in two innings, and the score held at 2-0 until the top of the fourth. Joe Adcock led off that inning with a double, then scored on Ernie Banks' single up the middle. The Colts took the lead on Ed Bailey-s 2-run homer in the sixth, and added a spare rib with Spanky Spangler's RBI double in the seventh, but the Barons rallied for three runs off Chet Nichols in the home half. Flood and Hinton singled back-to-back with one out, and Flood scored on Bailey's throwing error on a steal attempt. Two pitches later, Kuenn took Nichols out of the ballpark, sending the home crowd of 77,723 into a frenzy. Bob Friend got the win, holding Chicago to eight hits and striking out six, and former Colts closer Don Elston nailed down the win with a perfect ninth. Curt Flood is 5-for-7 in the Series and has scored half of Cleveland's 10 runs. |
