Record: 68-66, 3rd, 5.5 GB Quad City
Down 1-0, Chicago took control with four runs in the third inning and broke it open with three in the fourth as the G-Men went on for a 7-2 win over St. Louis at Wrigley Field (1979).
The win enabled Chicago to take the final two games of their three-game series against the River Walkers.
Walkers starting pitcher Jimmy Lambert's inability to throw strikes played a big part in the G-Men's outburst.
In the third, he walked two of three hitters and also made a wild pitch to put runners at second and third with two outs.
Brandon Nimmo then tied it when he drove in Victor Caratini with a ground out.
A third walk, this one to Jarred Kelenic, put runners at first and second before a second wild pitch moved the runners to second and third.
Cruz Calderon was issued an intentional walk to load the bases.
Matt Wallner then plated two runs with a single.
Yet another single, from Nolan Jones, put Chicago ahead 4-1.
In the fourth, Lambert again struggled to throw strikes with another walk and wild pitch.

Nimmo drove in the inning's first run with a double.
Kelenic plated the other two when he followed with another double.
G-Men starting pitcher Jake Mullholland (9-9) worked five innings, allowing one run on three hits. He struck out six and walked one.
Seven relievers followed Mullholland to the mound.
Trevor Hildenberger (1.1 IP) began the march.
He was followed by Taylor Rogers (0.2). Jamie Callahan (0.1), James Pazos (1.0), Tyler Chatwood (0.0), Danny Barnes (0.0) and Ken Giles (0.2).
