World Series Game 1 Victory for Munoz and Denver
The stakes were high. Jeff Munoz was ready.

The right-hander turned in a performance for the ages at Gates Crescent Park, pitching a 9-inning, complete-game shutout to lead the Denver Burros to victory in Game 1 of the World Series. Munoz held the Detroit Wolverines to 4 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 9. The win got the best-of-7 series off to a good start for Denver, which now leads 1-0.

Munoz gave Denver a blue-ribbon performance. The 6-foot-0 right-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits over 9 innings of work.

"Jeff pounded the strike zone and made good pitches when he needed to," said Denver manager Clark Anderson.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Gates Crescent Park in Denver.
