Record: 72-49, 2nd, 2.5 GB Des Moines
Trailing 9-7, St. Louis scored six runs in the top of the ninth inning to pave the way for a 13-9 win over Grand Rapids at the Polo Grounds (1923).
A five-run bottom of the sixth had put the Traders in front 9-4.
The River Walkers knocked three runs out of that deficit in the top of the seventh on a two-out, three-run homer from Daniel Becerra off Grand Rapids reliever Dylan Cloonan.
Matt Fulton set the tone for the top of the ninth with a lead-off homer off reliever Trey Benton.
The Traders' bullpen had to be running on fumes, after taking some heavy damage in a 21-14 to the Walkers the previous day.
Nathaniel Dixon followed with a double, sending Benton to the shower.
Cristian Sanchez took over, and allowed a lead-off single to Becerra, which put runners at the corners.
He then retired Jose Segura for the first out.
The next three St. Louis hitters reached base -- on two walks and a two-run single by Jared Thomas, which put the Walkers in front 10-9.
Rhett Daniel replaced Sanchez and was greeted by a run-scoring fly ball by Jean Carmona.
Thairo Estrada drove in the inning's final two runs with a double.
Walkers starting pitcher Zack Hunsicker endured a rough outing, allowing seven runs on seven hits in just 5.1 innings.
Andres Hernandez took over and allowed three straight hits.
Nick Ruffalo had to come on to close out the sixth. He followed with a scoreless seventh.
Yeison Santos set the Traders down without a run in the eighth.
With the Walkers bullpen also running on fumes, closer Ernesto Barbosa had to pitch in a no-save situation.
He allowed a lead-off double to Marcos Francis, but retired the next three to end it.
