October 7, 1948, the second game also made television history when a live broadcast of the Indians–Braves matchup was shown aboard the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s Marylander passenger train traveling between Washington, D.C. and New York City, using a receiver operated by Bendix Corporation technicians.
An Associated Press reporter observing the demonstration said, “Technically, it was surprisingly good.” The Braves scored a run in the first off Bob Lemon on Bob Elliott’s RBI single with two on, but Lemon held them scoreless for the rest of the game. After three shutout innings, Lou Boudreau hit a leadoff double in the fourth off Warren Spahn, then scored on Joe Gordon’s single with Gordon advancing to second on the throw to home. One out later, Larry Doby’s RBI single put the Indians up 2–1. Next inning, Dale Mitchell hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Boudreau’s single. The Indians scored one more run in the ninth off Nels Potter when Jim Hegan reached on an error, moved to third on two groundouts and scored on Bob Kennedy’s single. The series was tied 1–1 heading to Cleveland.
