After dropping Game 1 to the St. Louis Cardinals, the New York Giants turned to Carl Hubbell to get them back in the series. St. Louis wasted no time getting on the board. Sparky Adams set the tone, leading off the game with a single and scoring. Chick Hafey hit a mammoth 2-run home run later in the inning for his 4th of the Tournament to put the Cardinals on top 3-0. Hubbell settled down until the 6th when Hafey hit a leadoff triple and scored. George Watkins drove in Mel Ott in the 7th for New York’s first run against Paul Derringer. But the Cardinals weren’t done. St. Louis collected 4 straight hits to lead off the bottom of the inning, led by Adams’ double, en route to two more runs for the Cardinals. New York rallied with 4 baserunners to chase Derringer in the 8th, and Jim Lindsey couldn’t stop the Giants from scoring 4 runs to cut the lead to 6-5. Bill Terry gave a little hope when he hit a 2-out single in the 9th, but Ott grounded out to Ripper Collins to end the game. The Giants face an 0-2 series, and elimination, heading to New York. Hubbell allowed 15 hits in 7 1/3 innings, and is now just 2-2 in the Tournament.
