The two teams were evenly matched in pitchers (who each allowed six hits on 33 batters), with a little bit of timing and luck proving the difference in Cleveland prevailing in the opening game.
Catcher Quincy Trouppe collected the lone extra base hit for the team on his triple to start the inning, and Johnnie Cowan helped him score on a sacrifice fly.
Buckeye starter Jefferson hurled a complete game while allowing just six hits and one earned run while striking out four and walking two batters.
Avelino Canizares lined a single to keep the inning alive with two runners on, but Archie Ware hit a flyout to end the threat.
He proceeded to line a double to right field, which scored Trouppe, Armour, and Cowan as the Buckeyes snatched Game 2 of the series.
The trouble for the Grays started in the third inning, as catcher Josh Gibson would drop a foul fly hit by Avelino Canizares, and the batter was soon walked.
Vic Harris was the final out for the Grays, shutout for just the 4th time in 20 games played in the Series over the past four seasons.
With the bases loaded for Parnell Woods, he hit a ball to second baseman Bozo Jackson that he could not get a hold on (with no assist from right fielder Dave Hoskins).
In the fourth, the Buckeyes started with two straight singles by Willie Grace and Quincy Trouppe that were followed by a ground out and a flyout (by Johnnie Cowan) that made it 3-0 Cleveland.
