he bashing took a break. The winning didn’t. A Cardinals team that was developing a reputation as some sort of hulking softball team showed off another of the clubs in its rather full bag on Wednesday night. The Cardinals rode six strong innings from Chris Carpenter, another stifling bullpen effort and a pair of run-scoring singles to a win in Game 1 of the World Series, 3-2, over the Texas Rangers at Busch Stadium. If a perception emerged during the National League Championship Series that the Cards would need to bash the ball to win, that perception is mistaken.
