World Series Game 1 Victory for Rutherford and St. Louis
The St. Louis Explorers powered past the visiting New York Knickerbockers, 3-2, in the opener of the World Series at Castle Point Field today. St. Louis starting pitcher Brock Rutherford threw 9 innings of 8-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Explorers now lead the series 1-0.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when center fielder Showboat Hewitt, who is rated as the 46th best prospect by BNN, reached on an error by the C. The Explorers went on to win.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," St. Louis manager told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Castle Point Field in St. Louis. Slated to start are Naman Futch for New York and Hampton Bunker for St. Louis.
