Rangers Score Twice In Ninth To Beat Cardinals 2-1, Even Series

mlb_g_kinsler11_576

The story was almost Allen Craig. Again. For the second night in a row, Craig came up as a pinch-hitter in a key spot with two outs and a runner in scoring position, facing one of the hardest throwers in the game. For the second night in a row, Craig singled to right field off Alexi Ogando to put the Cardinals ahead.

But it’s not time to melt down that Stan Musial statue for materials for a new statue. Craig’s single gave the Cardinals their only run, and it looked like it was going to be the difference in a win against the Texas Rangers, but the Rangers mounted a furious rally in the ninth inning off the previously unhittable Jason Motte, stealing Game 2 on the road to tie the World Series at 1-1.
