Record: 50-34, 1st/(Tied/w. Springfield), 4 GA Quad City
Manuel Coke went 4 for 4 with two doubles, two homers, three run scored and three RBIs to help power St. Louis to an 11-3 win over Springfield at Busch Stadium (2006).
Down 1-0 after Billy Salas had put the Railers in front with a solo homer off River Walkers starter Shane Drogo in the top of the first, Coke turned one around in the bottom half -- also plating Jackson Miller, who had doubled, in front of him -- to put his team ahead 2-1.
An inning later, a suddenly red-hot Jose Segura launched a two-run homer off Springfield starter Ewdy Alex, making it 4-1.
A pair of runs off Drogo in the sixth drew Springfield back to within 4-3.
Coke helped change that by opening a four-run outburst in the bottom of the sixth with a double off reliever Sam Stoutenborough.
Segura collected two more RBIs in that inning with a double.
Abdur-Nasser bin Amr drove in the inning's final run with a single.
The Walkers final three runs came in the seventh -- Coke's second homer, a solo shot off Jesse Edwards -- and the eighth -- bin Amr led off with a double off Keith DeRemer and scored on a Bob Saavedra ground out -- as they cruised to the win.
Drogo (11-2) became the Midwest Baseball League's first 11-game winner of the season by allowing three runs over the first 5.2 innings. He struck out six and didn't walk a batter.
Bobby Westerman finished the sixth and worked a scoreless seventh.
Ron Cox allowed one base runner over the final two innings.
