Bedford's Chris Carpenter to Pitch Game 7

Chris Carpenter, who has an offseason home in Bedford, will make his third start of the World Series tonight as his St. Louis Cardinals look to top the Texas Rangers in the final game of a wild series.

Carpenter earned a victory in game one and a no-decision in Game 5. He's going for his second World Series title.

The Cardinals were down 3-2 in the series but forced a Game 7 last night in spectacular fashion, as David Freese hit a game-tying two-run triple in the ninth and then walk-off home run in the 11th inning.

Game 7 will be televised tonight on Fox and Fox HD at 8:05 p.m.

The 36-year-old Carpenter, who was born in Exeter, won his first World Series in 2006 with the Cardinals.

Carpenter attended Trinity High School in Manchester.
