World Series Game 1 Victory for Shannon and Chicago
The stakes were high. Joe Shannon was ready.

The right-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Union Field today, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Chicago Traders to victory in Game 1 of the World Series. Shannon held the New York Empires to 3 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 5. The win got the best-of-7 series off to a good start for Chicago, which now leads 1-0.

Shannon gave Chicago a solid start. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 9 innings.

"Obviously, we'd rather be at 1-0 than 0-1, but it's a long series," Empires manager Pete Grassi said. "We'll just have to pick up a game somewhere."

Game 2 is set to be played tomorrow at Union Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Tom Green for the New York Empires and Aart MacDonald for the the Chicago Traders.
