Record: 10-5, 1st, 1.5 GA Quad City
Peter Ahn hit a two-run pinch-hit home run in the top of the 13th inning to help lift St. Louis to a 5-4 win over Cedar Rapids at Connie Mack Stadium (1960).
Grapplers reliever Matt Wailzer retired the first two River Walkers batters in the 13th, but was then replaced by Rick Atkinson.
It proved a bad decision.
Luke Berryhill, who is 0 for 19 for the season, drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch.
Ahn then powered a 1-0 pitch over the wall in right-center to put St. Louis in front.
Jose Morillo did homer off Walkers reliever Ricky Cisneros in the bottom of the 13th with one out.
Jose Hernandez also singled with two outs.
But Cisneros got Phillip Dull to fly out to end it, and earn him his first save of the season.
A three-run top of the first, highlighted by a two-run homer from Jordan Groshans off Cedar Rapids starter Evan Steele, staked the Walkers to a 3-0 lead.
But the Grapplers pecked away.
Morillo singled off St. Louis rookie starter Wilson Lara to lead off the bottom of the second and later scored.
When the Grapplers got a single from Jesus Berrios and double by Mark Hill to open the eighth against reliever Cory Tiller, St. Louis decided to go to closer Ernesto Barbosa.
It didn't work.
Matt McLain drove in Barrios with a ground ball, making it 3-2.
Rhys Hoskins later hit a two-out double to tie it.
Lara pitched well in his first opportunity to lock down the No. 5 spot in the St. Louis rotation.
He allowed one run on four hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked one.
Tiller and Barbosa both ended up pitching an inning apiece.
Travis Krogman and David Amador both followed with two innings.
Amador (2-0) would earn his second win of the season.
Cisneros took the mound to begin the 13th.
