Record: 2-3, 4th (Tied/w. Quad City), 3 GB Kansas City
Louisville and St. Louis combined for 11 home runs, but it was the seven the Sluggers hit in the first four innings which propelled them to a wild 13-9 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
The Sluggers got a two-run homer from Giancarlo Stanton and solo shots from Kevin Yanwinkle and Kellum Clark off Walkers starter Lenyn Crisp in the top of the first as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead.
St. Louis fired back with three runs in the bottom of the inning -- Jose Segura driving in all of the runs with the first of his two homers in the game.
Louisville didn't need the long ball to add three more runs in the second, chasing Crisp in the process.
Yanwinkle picked up another RBI with a single, while Clark added a pair with a double that chased Crisp.
But St. Louis deadlocked it with four runs in the bottom of the third.
Jordan Groshans plated the first three with a homer.
The next batter, Rick Scott, also went deep to tie it and send Sluggers starter Owen White to the shower.
But by the time St. Louis scored again, Louisville led 13-7.
The first three runs came in the top of the fourth with a trio of solo shots.
Matt Bryant and Stanton went back to back off Ricky Cisneros.
After a strike out, Clark clubbed his second homer of the game to make it 10-7.
The Sluggers tallied three more times in the sixth.
Brandon Clement doubled off Ron Peterson for the inning's first run.
Jonathan Vaughns greeted reliever Yeison Santos with a two-run homer,
St. Louis scored four times late -- including one on Segura's second homer of the game -- but it never really got close.

Cody Deason and Miguel Vincio both pitched two innings.
The ninth belonged to Jose Hernandez.
