The World Series is going to Game 7 for the first time since 2002 after a thrilling game in St. Louis. The Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 in 11 innings, tying the series at 3-3. The team rallied from two-run deficits in the 9th and 10th innings before David Freese hit a decisive homer in the 11th, AP reports. The Rangers twice came within one strike of winning their first-ever World Series title. Game 7 is tonight; the Cardinals are hoping for their 11th title. (More World Series stories.)
