Black Rifles Hammered by Handy, Fall Further Behind in WS
The scouting report on Eli Handy has changed quite a bit over the years. He's lost some speed and he's not the fielder he once was. But power? Yeah, he's still got that.

The 35-year-old Memphis third baseman hammered the Richmond Black Rifles pitching staff in Game 2 of the World Series at Bears Ballpark today, helping Memphis move one game closer to a title. Handy went 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice as the Bears took the 9-8 win. With it, Memphis holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Memphis benefited from a miscue in the bottom of the sixth inning. Memphis was leading 8-7 when Jimmie Woods hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put Memphis in front, 9-7.

"What a game," said Handy. "We needed every last run."

Game 3 is scheduled for Sunday at Black Rifles Ballpark in Richmond.
