Rangers Rally to Win 4-2 in Game 5






Mike Napoli was at it again last night with another clutch hit.  He dropped a two run double in the eighth inning to give the Rangers a two run lead and eventually the win.  You can check out that double here. St. Louis had lead most of the game when Adrian Beltre laced a solo home run in the sixth inning to tie the game.  Beltre swung so hard he went down to one knee and watched the ball go over the fence.  Check out the bomb here.  To say these two are carrying the offense would be an understatement.  Beltre is leading the team in batting average during the World Series batting .381, and Napoli is putting the team on his back with 9 RBI's over 5 games.



The series will go back to St. Louis for game 6 and possibly a game 7.   Game six will be Wednesday night and will feature Colby Lewis for the Rangers and Jaime Garcia for the Cardinals.  The Rangers won 2-1 when these pitchers matched up in game 2.
