Record: 10-4, 1st, 0.5 GA Quad City
St. Louis used a five-run bottom of the fourth inning, to turn a 1-0 lead into a 6-0 lead, and the River Walkers went onto defeat Des Moines 7-3 at Busch Stadium.
After scoring an unearned run off Harvesters starting pitcher Hugh Fisher in the bottom of the first inning, St. Louis busted it open in the fourth.
The Walkers put four of their first five batters of the inning on base against Fisher.
Fisher also committed, scoring Nathaniel Dixon with the inning's first run, and hit a batter during that span.
Bob Saavedra plated the inning's second run with a fly ball to right.
Yan C. Dixon did the rest with his first home run of the season, a three-run shot to left which traveled 404 feet.
St. Louis starting pitcher Xavier Wigfall took a shutout into the sixth inning, when Des Moines finally got on the board.
Leo Cerna led off the inning with a double and scored on a Kyle Roberts ground out.
Wigfall returned to the mound in the seventh, but allowed the Harvesters to load the bases -- on two singles and an error by Saavedra at third base -- with one out before exiting the game.
Scott Rissler took over and gave up a two-run single to Jared Poland, making it 6-3.
But Rissler got out of the inning without allowing another run.
The Walkers made it 7-3 in the bottom of the seventh, Nick Shaw with an RBI single off reliever Josh Crespo.
Rissler pitched a scoreless eighth for St. Louis.
Despite it not being a save situation, closer Nick Strother handled the ninth setting Des Moines down in order.
Wigfall (1-0) allowed three runs on seven hits. He struck out three and walked one.
