Ivan Alonzo took his placed and got Thairo Estrada to fly out to end the inning.
The Grapplers would get all three of their runs in the bottom of the sixth.
St. Louis ace Angel Tiburcio allowed the first three batters -- on two singles and a walk -- to reach loading the bases.
He retired the next two without a run scoring -- a fielder's choice with the runner thrown out at the plate and a strikeout -- but reserve catcher Ben Breazaele drew a walk to score Mark Hill with the game's first run.
Phillip Dull followed with a two-run single, as the Grapplers went up 3-0.
Alonzo (2-0) ended up earning the win.
Shuto Ogata, Dave Schaeffer and Evan Palmer all worked a scoreless inning.
Palmer collected his first save.
