Volk, Bus, Jameson lead Blues to 6-4 Victory


Leadoff hitter Jarrod Volk scored two runs and had two hits in leading the Blues to a win in the 2006 Fall World Series Game #2. Brian Bus, MVP of game #1, continued his torrid pace by ripping two doubles and playing centerfield. Pitcher Tom Jameson was named the MVP of the game as he pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the first inning and then shut down the Reds in order in the 2nd and 3rd inning. The Reds drew first blood as they scored on an error in the first inning. The Blues answered with two runs in the bottom of the inning.
In the top of the 3rd inning, the Blues tacked on three more runs as Volk, Bus, and shortstop Tim Moore all had consecutive doubles. The Reds scored two runs in the 5th after two Blue errors, an Austin Nyman hit, and an RBI single from Pete Savage. Blues closer Chad Doerr once again turned in a great pitching performance. He had 5 strikeouts in two innings of work. He did escape a jam in the 7th inning as the Reds closed the gap to 6-4. With two outs, an Austin Nyman drag bunt base hit followed by a base on balls, allowed Max Marin to drive in a run and bring the winning run to the plate. However, Doerr struck out the last hitter to end the threat. Game 3 of the World Series will resume Thursday afternoon at Zunini Field.
