Jose Ramirez hit a walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning to give St. Louis a 7-6 win over Des Moines at Busch Stadium (1997).
A wild game, the River Walkers had tied the game at 5-5 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth on a pinch-hit single by Alek Thomas.
In the 10th, they had evened it at 6-6 on a lead-off homer from Jean Seguara.
They finally won it an inning later, when Ramirez hit his 15th homer of the season on a 1-2 pitch from Harvesters relief pitcher Jeremy Bouchard.
Back-to-back homers from Andrew Foley (a two-run shot) and Rafael Devers off St. Louis starter Izzy San Juan with two outs in the top of the sixth had put Des Moines ahead 5-2.
