1970 WPK World Series Game 2
Brewers hitters seem to like hitting at Wolf Pack Stadium.
The Brewers take Game 2, 10-5. Denver took an early lead with a single run in the 2nd inning, a pair of runs in the 3rd, and another run in the 4th as Cheol-han Lee was pretty easily shutting down the Wolf Pack hitters. The Brewers 4-0 lead threatened to be erased in the bottom of the 6th when the Wolf Pack got to Lee for 3 runs on 4 hits, including 2 HR's but David Brown was able to come in and put out the fire.
That was as close as Jacksonville would get as the Brewers erupted for 6 runs in the top of the 8th inning, including defensive replacement Oscar Vargas hitting a 3-run homerun.
Although the Wolf Pack would rally in the bottom of the 9th and threaten to catch up, that rally fell short as the Brewers bullpen bent but did not break.
The Brewers head home for 3 games up 2-0 with a chance to win a championship in front of the home crowd. But the team is well aware of their own struggles at home and that the Wolf Pack could break out offensively at any time (and showed hints of that late in this game) so the Brewers will need to keep grinding it out, at-bat by at-bat, out by out.
