Bluebirds, Explorers Play 14 to Settle Game 1, Brooklyn Now Leads Series 1-0
One game in and the Divisional Series is already looking exhausting.

The Brooklyn Bluebirds and the St. Louis Explorers needed 14 innings to settle Game 1, with the Bluebirds finally taking the 2-1 victory at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Excelling in the win was Brooklyn starting pitcher Damon Rutherford, who threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The Bluebirds and Explorers are playing a best-of-7 series.

Rutherford gave Brooklyn a solid start. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits over 7 innings.

"Runs were at a premium," said Brooklyn manager John Meeker.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Corps of Discovery Stadium in St. Louis.
