Ft. Wayne Breaks Through for First Win in World Series; Now Trails 2-1
Behind a bravura effort from second baseman Jim Henkemeyer, the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes topped the Buffalo Bellflowers by the score of 3-0 and got their first win in the 2021 World Series. Henkemeyer went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times for the Earthquakes. The win narrows Ft. Wayne's deficit to 2-1.

Ft. Wayne used a well-timed hit by Randy Bunn to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Henkemeyer, "one at-bat at a time."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wegman's Field in Buffalo.
