Road Win Lifts St. Louis to 1-0 Lead 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 5 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 4. The win got the best-of-7 series off to a good start for St. Louis, which now leads 1-0.

Rutherford, who was born in Columbus, Ohio, threw 131 pitches over 9 innings, while allowing no earned runs.

"We're one game closer to our goal," St. Louis manager said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York. The scheduled starters for the game are Jim O'Leary for St. Louis and Lowry Hopkins for New York.
