Record: 79-58, 2nd, 1.5 GB Springfield
Tied 5-5, Val Moreno drew a bases-loaded walk from St. Louis reliever Maximiliano Minelli in the bottom of the eighth inning to score Alfredo Cano with the winning run as Chicago defeated the River Walkers 6-5 at Wrigley Field (1938).
Kyle Smarr took the mound to start the bottom of the eight for St. Louis.
Cano opened the inning with a single, and after a flyout by pinch-hitter Nate Ungaro Jessie Willoughby doubled to put runners at second and third.
Josh Rosborough was then given an intentional walk and Smarr left the game.
Minelli took over.
It got to a 3-2 count and Moreno drew ball four to bring home Cano with what would be the game-winning run.
