This Day In Baseball

On October 24, 2011 — Texas takes a 3-games-to-2 lead in the World Series with a 4 – 2 win at home over the Cardinals.

Mike Napoli drives in two runs in the bottom of the 8th with a bases-loaded double off Marc Rzepczynski when manager Tony LaRussa doesn’t have right-hander Jason Motte ready to come into the game because of a mix-up in communications with his bullpen. The Texas catcher, who bats eighth in the order, becomes only the second player to have four multi-RBI games in a World Series, joining Yankee legend Mickey Mantle, who accomplished the feat against Pittsburgh in 1960.
