Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Explorers, 4-2
The St. Louis Explorers moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the visiting New York Knickerbockers at Castle Point Field by a score of 4-2. Explorers right-hander Brock Rutherford was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 8 innings of 7-hit ball. The win gives the Explorers a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Rutherford, the St. Louis right-hander, went 8.1 innings, allowing 2 earned runs on 7 hits. He collected 10 strikeouts.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Rutherford.

Game 6 is set to be played Tuesday at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York. The scheduled starters for the game are Hermann Logan for the St. Louis Explorers and Naman Futch for the the New York Knickerbockers.
