We have the overnight numbers for World Series Game 7 from Friday night. Thanks to a compelling Game 6 Thursday night that hooked viewers, plus some weak competition on ABC, CBS, NBC and The CW, Fox was able to blow away the other networks with an NFL-like rating, 16.2 with a 28 share, the highest-rated World Series clinching game since 2004’s Game 4 when the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals. That’s 12% higher than last year’s clincher between San Francisco and Texas.
This year, the Cards beat Texas 6-2 in Game 7. Dan Bell of Fox Sports Public Relations tweeted the news.

When I get a press release with final numbers, I’ll be sure to post it.
