Game 2.

With 20-game winner Jimmy Dygert on the mound against Wild Bill Donovan, it looked to be another pitching classic, and Toledo started strong, profiting from an Amby McConnell error to plate a 1st inning run. But Dygert was not showing his in-season form, giving up a home run to Honus, a single to Red, and hurt by an error by substitute shortstop Bill Bradley. The Maumees tied the score in the 3rd, as Wagner botched a Josh Clarke grounder, and Keeler drove in Clarke. But the tie did not last long. McConnell opened with a single, scored on Murray’s single, and Murray scored on a single by Shepherd. The Maumees narrowed the score on a bobble by center fielder Red Murray, but plated two more runs in the 5th on Hal Chase’s 2-run single. Dick Hoblitzell’s pinch single narrowed the score to 6-4, but Donovan held on, with the help of Corridon for a 6-4 win, tying the series at 1 game apiece and sending the games back to Toledo.
