Rutherford Handcuffs Knickerbockers, Explorers Seize 1-0 Advantage in World Series
The stakes were high. Brock Rutherford was ready.

The right-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Knickerbocker Stadium today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the St. Louis Explorers to victory in Game 1 of the World Series. Rutherford held the New York Knickerbockers to 6 hits and no walks, while striking out 6. The win got the best-of-7 series off to a good start for St. Louis, which now leads 1-0.

Rutherford, the St. Louis right-hander, went 9 innings, allowing no earned runs on 6 hits. He collected 6 strikeouts.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Rutherford told the St. Louis Gazette.

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Knickerbocker Stadium. The scheduled starters for the game are Harry McLoughlin for St. Louis and Naman Futch for New York.
