After being down to their last strike twice, the St. Louis Cardinals kept rallying to win one of the most exciting games in baseball.
David Freese completed a thrilling night of comebacks with a home run leading off the bottom of the 11th inning to beat Texas 10-9 on Thursday, and suddenly fans all over got something they have waited a long time to see: Game 7 in the World Series.
The game rivaled the Carlton Fisk homer in Game 6 of the 1975 Series and Bill Buckner’s error in Game 6 of the 1986 Series.
Next up on Friday night, the first Game 7 in the World Series since the Angels beat San Francisco in 2002.
St. Louis’ own Freese, had already earned a two-strike, two-out, two-run triple in the ninth off Rangers closer Neftali Feliz that made it 7-all.
