Rutherford Handcuffs Knickerbockers, Explorers Seize 1-0 Advantage in World Series
At 39, Brock Rutherford knows he may not have many playoff appearances left, so he was determined to make it memorable. Mission accomplished.

The St. Louis Explorers starting pitcher threw 12 innings of shutout ball to help his club get past the New York Knickerbockers, 1-0, in Game 1 of the World Series at Castle Point Field today. Rutherford took player of the game honors for his performance. With the win, St. Louis takes a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Late in the game, shortstop Ben Thoreson had a big at-bat for St. Louis. In the bottom of the 15th, he hit a run-scoring double off Jim Gregory. The play gave the Explorers a 1-0 lead.

Rutherford said afterward that he was "glad the fans were treated to a good ballgame."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Castle Point Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Frederic Isaac for New York and George Culver for St. Louis.
