In Game 2, Walker Cooperâs two-run double in the first, the Cardinalsâ first hit of the game, put them up 2â0 off of Tiny Bonham. In the seventh, innings Johnny Hopp singled and scored on Whitey Kurowskiâs triple to make it 3â0 Cardinals. Johnny Beazley pitched seven shutout innings, but in the eighth allowed a two-out single to Roy Cullenbine, who stole second and scored on Joe DiMaggioâs single.
