Only the third time ever in World Series play that a team has trailed 1-0 entering the ninth inning and won the game. EVER!!

That's not quite as big a surprise as I originally thought, tho. The first time I saw the stat, I thought it said 3rd team to win after trailing entering the 9th. And I didn't really think that could be right. But trailing specifically by a score of 1-0 entering the 9th. There probably haven't been all that many games that were 1-0 entering the ninth to begin with.

Anyway, Series tied, I'm happy to say. Of teams that won Game 2 to even the Series, 29 of 54 have gone on to win -- but just two of the last seven, the 2002 Angels and the 2009 Yankees. So there's a better than 50% chance of a Texas win!
