Riding the 2-hit performance of shortstop Troy Nelson, the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes got a road win against the Moncton Mounties, 9-7, in Game 2 of the World Series. Nelson went 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Earthquakes, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

Ft. Wayne used the hitting of Justin Bush to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Earthquakes on top, 6-5. For the game, Bush had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We maximized our offense today," said Ft. Wayne skipper Du-sung Moon. "That makes everyone's life easier."

Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday at Earthquakes Stadium in Ft. Wayne.
