Cardinals beat the Rangers at Busch Stadium, 6-2, in Game 7 of the Fall Classic to win their eleventh world championship in franchise history

2011 St Louis Cardinals world champions
 

 

On October 28, 2011 — At Busch Stadium, the St. Louis Cardinals win the 11th title of their history by defeating the Texas Rangers, 6 – 2, in Game 7 of the World Series. Texas takes a two-run lead in the top of the 1st, but Series MVP David Freese ties the score with a two-run double in the bottom of the inning and the 10th inning but rallied to tie the score and eventually win the game on David Freese’s lead-off, walk-off home run to centerfield in the 11th.

Chris Carpenter then keeps the Rangers from adding to their score, while Allen Craig hits a 3rd-inning homer off Matt Harrison. The Cards add two runs without getting a hit in the 5th and, typically, St. Louis manager Tony LaRussa uses four relievers to get the last 9 outs.

It is an unlikely title for a team that was 10 1/2 games out on August 25th and twice was down to its last strike in Game 6.
