Record: 2-1, 1st (Tied/w. Cedar Rapids and Springfield), 1 GA Kansas City
St. Louis smashed five home runs including a team-record four in the top of the ninth inning to power its way to a 7-0 win over Quad City at Fenwau Park (1970).
The victory gave the River Walkers two wins in its opening three-game series with the Thunder.
A Bo Bichette solo homer off Thunder starting pitcher Izzy San Juan with one out in the sixth inning was the game's lone scoring going into the ninth.
That's when the Walkers unleashed the thunder.
The first three homers came from the first three batters.
Jared Thomas led off with a long ball off Adam Haseley, whose primary job is that of an outfielder but occasionally moonlights on the mound.
Larry Ernesto hit the first Hasley offering he saw 397 feet over the Green Monster.
Making his first at-bat of the season, Johan Camargo joined in on he fun with an almost identical blast, a 397 foot ball hit to left field.
That spelled the end of Haseley.
But the Walkers were not done putting two runners aboard against Sarkin Ohanian to set the stage for a three-run bomb from Rhys Hoskins.
That power showing overshadowed an impressive St. Louis debut for Adonis Medina (1-0) who worked 6.1 scoreless innings. He allowed three hits while striking out one and walking none.
Danny Jennings (1.1 IP), Danny Grigg (0.1) and Caleb Ferguson (1.0) combined to complete the win.
