Record: 49-36, 1st, 1 GA Cedar Rapids
Trailing 2-0, St. Louis busted loose for five runs in the bottom of the second inning, and the River Walkers went on to defeat Des Moines 8-5 at Busch Stadium (2006).
A two-out, two-run double by the Harvesters Franklin Flores off St. Louis starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe had staked Des Moines to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second.
The Walkers, however, answered quickly in the bottom half of the inning.
Nick Shaw led off the inning with a homer run off Harvesters starting pitcher Bill Van Gieson.
After Manuel Coke followed with a single, Jose Ramirez hit a two-run homer and all of a sudden the Walkers led 3-1.
They weren't through.
Manny Martinez followed the Ramirez homer with a single and Aaron Nixon drew a walk.
A bunt by McNaboe put runners at second and third.
Bob Saavedra drove one of them home with a single.
Daniel Becerra sent Nixon across the plate with a single, as St. Louis went ahead 5-2.
The Walkers would add single runs in the third (Coke led off with a double off Lawence Caulfield and later was driven in by Martinez), fourth (Saavedra, who had reached on a fielder's choice scored on a Shaw single) and fifth (Ramirez led off with a single off Caulfield and scored on a Saavedra single off Ben Hughes) to keep the Harvesters at bay.
McNaboe (9-2) wasn't at his best on the mound but still earned his ninth win.
He allowed four runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out five but walked four.
Juan Munoz pitched a scoreless seventh.
Scott Rissler handled the eighth and pitched into the ninth before allowing a run.
Angel Tiburcio took over and put an end to the game.
