| Corbin Handcuffs Black Yankees, Americans Seize 1-0 Advantage in League Championship Series | One game in and the Round 2 is already looking exhausting.
The Boston Americans and the New York Black Yankees needed 10 innings to settle Game 1, with the Americans finally taking the 2-1 victory at Yankee Stadium I. Earning player of the game honors in the win was Boston starting pitcher Patrick Corbin, who threw 8 innings of 3-hit ball. The Americans and Black Yankees will play a best-of-7 series.
Corbin was effective for Boston, seldom allowing the Black Yankees to square up a pitch. The left-hander tossed 101 pitches over 8.1 innings. He limited New York to just 1 run on 3 hits.
"We're one game closer to our goal," Boston manager Ice Chamberlin said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."
Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Yankee Stadium I in New York. The scheduled starters for the game are Cowboy Jones for the Boston Americans and Brad Penny for the the New York Black Yankees.
