GAME 2 (Ebbets Field) Yankees 5, Dodgers 1:
In a battle of tough southpaws the Boomer, David Wells dominated the Boys of Summer and thoroughly outpitched his counterpart Preacher Roe as the '98 Bombers evened the series at 1. Brooklyn struck first blood in the bottom of the 3rd as Jackie Robinson hit a 2 out solo shot to left center. That would be the final hit that Wells would allow on the day. Roe was in and out of trouble for the first 4 innings before the Yanks caught up with him and posted 2 runs on the scoreboard just above the Abe Stark sign. Bernie led off the inning with a solo shot and after Tino and Posada both struck out Scott "Mr. Clutch" Brosius slammed on into the left field pavilion to put the Bombers up for good. The Bombers tagged Roe for 2 more homers in the 7th as Bernie notched his second of the game and Posada tapped his 1st. New tacked on an insurance run in the 8th, but they were not needed as the Dodgers never really threatened. Wells was masterful in his complete game effort.
