Record: 82-63, 2nd, 4 GB Cedar Rapids
Leading 1-0, Cedar Rapids scored four runs in the top of the third inning and went on to defeat St. Louis 10-3 at Busch Stadium (2006).
The River Walkers took a gamble by moving No. 1 starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe up a day, and it failed miserably as the 15-game winner allowed five runs on five hits in five innings.
The Grapplers jumped in front in the top of the first.
Lead-off hitter Mark Hill reached on an error by third baseman Mark Saavedra, the first of two errors by Saavedra in the game.
Hill, who had moved to second on the throwing error, scored on a Jose Morillo single.
Cedar Rapids put its first six hitters aboard against McNaboe in the third.
Morillo drew a walk to get things going.
Morillo then stole second and scored on an Eric Gerhardt single.
Tim Jurgensen followed with another single, and when Arnold Hammond was hit by a pitch, the bases were loaded.
Jordan Batista singled, scoring Gerhardt, making it 3-0.
Miguel Mato connected on the fourth single of the inning, driving in the final two runs.
The River Walkers climbed back into it with a three-run bottom of the third against Cedar Rapids starter Antonio Echevaria.
Jose Ramirez drove in the first run with a double.
Saavedra plated the second with a fly ball.
An RBI single from Nathaniel Dixon made it 5-3.
St. Louis, however, would not score again while the Grapplers would add five more runs on 10 hits against the Walkers' bullpen over the final four innings.
Batista connected for a three-run double off Nick Strother in the seventh.
Pinch-hitter Dane Finish and Vince Hill had RBI singles of Oscar Martinez in the ninth.
