Bobby Chapman hit a two-out, two-run homer off St. Louis reliever Cory Tiller in the top of the 10th inning, helping give Louisville an 11-9 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
The victory helped the Sluggers avoid a three-game sweep against the River Walkers.
Tiller came on after Andres Hernandez had retired the first two Louisville hitters in the 10th.
Tiller, however, walked the first batter he faced, Matt Bryant, and his 2-0 pitch to Chapman landed 424 feet into the bleachers in left-center.
Steve Kowal would follow with a single off Tiller.
He exited the game after that with an elbow injury which is expected to keep him out for four days.
It was a wild game.
St. Louis wiped out a 1-0 deficit with a five-run bottom of the second.
The Sluggers tied it with four runs in the sixth inning.
The Walkers' Jose Segura hit a two-run homer off reliever Trey Benton in the seventh, putting his team up 7-5.
The Sluggers answered with back-to-back homers in the eighth off Josh Grissom, who was making his first appearance after a stint on the 10-day injury list.
The first batter he faced, Joakim Osuna, hit the first pitch he saw over the wall for a two-run homer.
Pinch-hitter Chris Hyman waited until the fourth pitch to crank a solo shot which put Louisville ahead 8-7.
Jean Carmona hit his first homer of the season with two outs in the bottom of the eighth, off former St. Louis reliever Elian Acosta, to even it at 8-8.
Another former Walker, Steve Kowal, led off the top of the ninth with a homer off Andres Hernadez,
It put Louisville ahead 9-8.
