Record: 74-62, 2nd (Tied/w. Kansas City), 2.5 GB Springfield
Rookie Rick Scott connected on a two-run single with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift St. Louis to an 8-7 win over Ann Arbor at Busch Stadium (1997).
It was the second big hit in as many innings for Scott, who had hit a two-run homer in the eighth pull the River Walkers to within 7-6.
The victory was the third of the four-game series for St. Louis.
At one point, the Wolf Pack had led 6-3 after a five-run fifth inning.
Ann Arbor reliever Dylan Cloonan had retired the first two St. Louis hitters in the ninth.
But a walk to Joshua Rivera set things in motion.
A single by Steve Rossi and another walk, to Brian Mundell, later loaded the bases.
That brought Scott to the plate, and he knocked a 1-0 pitch past the second baseman to score two and win it.
Trailing 3-1, the Pack had battered Walkers rookie starter Wilson Lara for five runs in the top of the fifth to seemingly take control.
Ann Arbor banged out five hits in the inning.
Phil Ervin and Raza Jafri both had two-run singles.
St. Louis pulled to within 6-4 with a run in the fifth, Mundell with an RBI single off Garrett Williams.
Ann Arbor got that run back in the eighth, Branden Comia tripled off reliever Travis Krogman and scored on a Jovan Gill single off Yeison Santos.
It was a rough outing for Lara, who allowed six runs on eight hits in just 4.2 innings.
Danny Amador cleaned up the fifth and pitched a scoreless sixth.
Krogman (1.2 IP) and Santos (0.1) combined to handle the seventh and eighth innings.
Closer Ernesto Barbosa (4-0) got the call to keep it close in the ninth, which he did.
That set him up to earn the win when Scott came up with his big hit in the ninth.
