St. Louis 1 Away from Return to World Series




After winning just one game in the previous Fall Classic, the Cardinals are one victory away from seeking redemption after edging the Dodgers 3-2 at Los Angeles to take a 2-0 Series lead in the Fall Classic.

The two teams now travel to St. Louis for a Monday afternoon tilt. The hosts are now clearly in the driver seat with Bob Gibson taking the mound in yet another clinching situation. Just three days ago, the Cards' ace was called on in the final game of the season and tossed a shutout at the Philadelphia Phillies to give his team the Eastern Division crown.
