October 9th, 1902
World Series Game 2: Washington Senators (0-1) @ Chicago Orphans (1-0)
CHC: Bill Parsons (0-0) v WAS: Billy Hoeft (0-0)
The home side struck first in this one, with a Ted Kubiak RBI single putting them ahead in the 2nd. The Senators got the reply they needed in the 5th, tying the game on an error by George Cutshaw. They then went ahead 3-1 in the 6th thanks to singles by Keppinger and Law, only for Hoeft to lose his way in the bottom half and concede 4, with a 2-run triple by Bill Parsons the big hit. Still trailing by 2 in the 9th, Washington got a glimmer of hope when Backman led it off with a double. But they used up two outs plating him, and when Parsons struck out Ernie Courteney looking, Chicago had locked down the win and 2-0 series lead as the teams head to the nation’s capital.
