And then it came down to one pay head game. There really aren’t any words to describe the atmosphere at Busch Stadium in St. Louis when the Cardinals rallied back to win game six despite being pushed to their final strike of the game twice down. By the time David Freese made it to home plate where the entire St. Louis bench was waiting for him, he had already cemented his legacy on the team that he had grown up watching with not one, but two massive hits that determined the outcome of the game. After hitting a two-strike, two-out, two-run triple off of Texas Rangers’ closer Neftali Feliz in the ninth inning to keep the game alive, Freese went yard with a game-ending home run that reminded himself of Jim Edmonds’ game-ending home run back in the 2004 playoffs when he was the one cheering on the Cardinals. Well Mr. Freese, that shot you hit was much more significant, and now there will be an MLB World Series game seven on Friday night.
According to the sports betting odds, the bookmakers believe in the Cardinals’ magic with St. Louis listed as the favorites at -120. St. Louis will turn to ace Chris Carpenter once again with the series on the line, while Texas will counter with Matt Harrison. While this series has had a ton of scoring, this game could come down to a pitchers duel between Carpenter and Harrison, and just like he has this entire postseason, look for Carpenter to deliver and the Cardinals’ magic to continue.
