Walkers news: July 28 -- St. Louis 7, Springfield 6

Record: 57-42, 2nd, 1 GB Springfield
Trailing 6-4, St. Louis scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to rally for a 7-6 win and completed a three-game sweep of Springfield at Busch Stadium (2006).
The River Walkers actually began their comeback in the bottom of the seventh when a solo homer from Jackson Miller off Railers relief pitcher Mike LaFramboise had drawn them to within 6-4.
St. Louis put its first five batters on base to begin the bottom of the eighth, all of it against Roger Cresswell.
Ryan Wibbenmeyer and Manuel Coke opened the inning with back-to-back singles.
Mark Herman followed with a double, scoring Wibbenmeyer.
Nick Shaw then tied it with a single, scoring Coke.
Pinch-hitter Danny Diaz then drew a walk.
But Bob Saavedra put St. Louis in front for good with a deep fly to center, scoring Herman.
Walkers starting pitcher Xavier Wigfall worked 4.1 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. He struck out four and walked one.
Ron Cox wasn't good recording just one out and allowing a two-run homer to Jorge Goto.
Alex Rios got the Walkers out of the fifth.
After that it was nothing but scoreless innings.
Brett McVey worked the sixth.
Leo Hermosillo got the first two outs of the sixth.
Jesse Gaither closed out the sixth and kept the Railers from scoring in the seventh.
Gaither (2-1) earned the win.
Craig Fritzler allowed two hits, but no runs in the ninth for his 25th save.
