Record: 1-9, 6th, 9.5 GB Cedar Rapids
St. Louis jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but that was not enough to prevent the River Walkers from losing their eighth straight game as Peoria rallied for an 8-6 win at Busch Stadium (2006).
Jose Segura hit a three-run home run in the first inning and Eric Perentz and Nick Shaw, with a single and fly ball, respectively off Rivermen starting pitcher Russell Berg, in the second to stake St. Louis to its 5-0 advantage.
That lead began to dissipate in the top of the third when Mike Clay connected for an RBI double off St. Louis starting pitcher Angel Tiburcio to make it 5-1.
In the fifth, Ryan Palmer hit a three-run homer off Tiburcio to make it 5-4.
Peoria seized command against the Walkers' bullpen in the eighth putting up three runs.
