Record: 21-16, 1st, 2 GA Cedar Rapids
Jordan Groshans homered twice, including one to lead off the top of the 11th inning to snap a 4-4 tie, and lift St. Louis to a 5-4 win over Cedar Rapids at Connie Mack Stadium (1960).
Groshans was facing reliever Evan Steele to open the 11th.
His homer came on a 1-1 pitch, and traveled 380 feet over the fence in left field.
St. Louis had tied the game in the top of the ninth when Daniel Becerra doubled with two outs off Matt Wailzer to score Nathaniel Dixon.
Dixon was pinch-running for Rick Scott, who had singled with two outs.
Becerra was playing his first game with the Walkers, after being acquired from Springfield in the offseason.
An oblique injury suffered in spring training had kept Becerra from starting the season with the River Walkers.
At one point, St. Louis had led 3-1 only to have the Grapplers snag the lead with three runs in the bottom of the eighth.
Pinch-hitter Jose Morillo led off that inning with a homer off Cory Tiller.
Zach Evers later came on and allowed four straight batters to reach -- a single, a hit by pitch and two walks -- helping Cedar Rapids score its other two runs.
St. Louis starter Izzy San Juan allowed one run on five hits in six innings. He struck out four and walked one.
Tiller had his first bad outing of the season, allowing two runs in 1.1 innings.
Evers was probably worse, failing to record a out.
Ricky Cisneros was able to close out the eighth inning.
Closer Ernesto Barbosa (1-0) pitched a pair of silent innings, and would earn the win.
Elian Acosta set the Grapplers down in order in the bottom of the 11th, earning his first save.
