The Rangers Strike Back

Original website.

     The Texas Rangers have returned to the World Series for the second year in a row. After losing to the San Francisco Giants last year, the Rangers are hoping for a better outcome against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

     They did not get off to a good start, losing 3-2 in the first game. The game was tied 2-2 going into the bottom of the   sixth inning. But then Allen Craig came up to bat with two runners on base. He drove a tailing line drive into right field very close to the foul line. Ranger's right fielder Nelson Cruz sprinted as fast as he could to catch the ball, but it was not enough. The ball dropped and the Cardinals went up 3-2, a score that would not change throughout the rest of the game.

     The starting and winning pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals was Chris Carpenter, and the closing pitcher was Jason Motte, who earned the save. The losing pitcher for the Texas Rangers was C.J. Wilson.
