Boxscore and Play-by-Play: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 0120.shtml Outstanding Defense Plays That History Recalls: 1) With two out and the bags empty in the bottom of the third, Harrelson made a leaping grab of Damon Buford's liner. 2) With two out and a runner on first in the seventh, Charles stabbed a hard Brooks Robinson liner to make the third out with a throw to second. 3) With two out and two on in the ninth, Charles fielded a slow Robinson grounder, hesitated while torn between running to third or throwing to second, and finally went to first with a throw in the dirt that Clendenon dug out to save him a crucial error. Frayed Knot's Recount: Sunday, October 12 - World Series Game 2 - Memorial Stadium: Mets 2 - Orioles 1 -- Jerry Koosman vs Dave McNally Same lineup for Gil in game 2 while Earl changes catchers: Agee - CF Harrelson - SS Jones - LF Clendenon - 1B Swoboda - RF Charles - 3B Grote - C Weis - 2B Koosman - P Don Buford - LF Paul Blair - CF Frank Robinson - RF Boog Powell - 1B Brooks Robinson - 3B Davey Johnson - 2B Andy Etchebarren - C Mark Belanger - SS Dave McNally - P - Mets get a leadoff walk in the 2nd but don’t score - In the 3rd they get a leadoff single and later a walk but can’t bring any around - Clendenon’s leadoff HR in the 4th breaks the ice - The score stays that way until Paul Blair leads off the 7th with the Orioles first hit of the game. Two outs later he steals 2nd and comes in on a Brooks Robinson RBI single - Game remains tied at 1 when McNally, still hurling in the 9th, gets the first two outs before three consecutive singles by Charles, Grote & Weis makes it 2-1 Mets. - Koosman also gets the first two in the bottom half, but when he walks Frank Robinson & Powell, Hodges calls on Taylor for the final out, getting Brooks Robinson to ground to 3rd and even the series at one game each. Those two 7th inning singles were the only Oriole hits of the game. Koosman walked three. Game Time = 2:20
