Record: 20-26, 5th, 9.5 GB Quad Cities
Cris Rosario hit a grand slam with two outs in the top of the 11th inning to help give St. Louis a 4-0 win over Twin Cities at Metropolitan Stadium (1977).
Scoreless through regulation and into the top of the 12th. The River Walkers had just three hits through 11 innings, while the Snow Cats had just two the entire game.
St. Louis starter Angel Tiburcio logged eight scoreless innings, allowing both of the Twin Cities hits.
Making his first start of the season, Gilbert Carbollo kept the Walkers off the board for the first 5.2 inning, allowing two hits.
Five relievers followed Carbollo to the mound, before St. Louis finally busted through in the 12th.
In that 12th, Jimmy Herget got Alek Thomas to ground out to lead off the inning before giving way to Brian Hollister.
Joshua Rivera then got things rolling with a single, before moving to second on a Peter Ahn ground ball.
Jean Carmona was then given an intentional walk, to bring the slumping Jose Rivera to the plate.
Rivera, however, on a 3-2 pitch coaxed another walk.
Rosario got his count to 2-2, before blasting a pitch 377 feet over the fence in left field to drive in all of the game's runs.
St. Louis used just two pitchers after the exit of Tiburcio.
Ernesto Barbosa took care of the ninth and 10th innings.
Danny Amador (3-0) didn't allow a base runner in the 11th or 12th to earn his third win.
