World Series Game 1 - "Molitor Cocktail"

GAME 1 - Crosley Field
Caldwell vs Nuxhall
Brewers 6, Reds 1

Both Mike Caldwell and Joe Nuxhall locked up in a classic pitcher's duel until the Brew Crew erupted for 4 unanswered runs in the top of the 9th off reliever Jim Acker.  Catcher Charlie Moore and secondbaseman Paul Molitor each knocked in 2 runs with RBI singles to provide Bill Castro and Eduardo Rodriguez with more than enough cushion to protect.  Mike Caldwell got the win allowing just 1 run on 5 hits in 7 innings of work.  Castro and Rodriguez each pitched scoreless innings in relief.  Nuxhall tired in the 9th and couldn't get help from Acker to put the fire out.  Molitor and Robin Yount were both 2 for 5.
Brewers lead series 1-0
