Walkers news: Oct. 4 -- Peoria 2, St. Louis 1, 11 innings

Record: 95-66, 1st, NL South clinched; 2 GB Rockford
Damian Gaylor drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift Peoria to a 2-1 win over St. Louis at Globe Life Field.
The win allowed Rockford, despite losing 15-5 to Twin Cities, to clinch home-field advantage in the National League championship series.
The Lightning lead the River Walkers by two games with one to go.
Gaylor drew his walk on a 3-2 pitch from St. Louis reliever Brennan Weldon.
Weldon had just entered the game after the Lighting had loaded the bases.
Jeremiah Jackson led off the inning with a single off reliever Greg Sones.
Tony Gamez had followed Jackson's single with one of his one.
Aramando Cintron replaced Sones and got Johnny Castoangozzi to hit into a fielder's choice, with Jackson being retired at home.
John Nourian followed with a single to load the bases.
Cintron struck out Randy Underhill for the second out.
Weldon, a righty, then replaced the left-handed Cintron with the right-handed hitting Gaylor coming to the plate.
Pitching dominated the first 10 innings.
The Rivermen went up 1-0 with a run in the bottom of the first off St. Louis starter Kevin Hrdlicka.
Bobby Dotson reached on a bunt single to open the inning.
He scored on a single by Castagnozzi.
The River Walkers did not tie it until the top of the ninth when Nick Shaw hit his 30th homer of the season.
It came off Peoria reliever Antonio Gonzalez.
Rivermen starting pitcher Brad Monroe tossed 6.2 innings of shut-out ball.
He scattered four hits while striking out three. Monroe didn't issue a walk.
Mike Gil finished off the seventh for Peoria.
After that, Gonzalez (1.0 IP), Francisco Perez (1.2), Alex Rios (1.0) and Michael Walgren (0.1) took the mound for the Riverman.
Walgren (10-4) earned his 10th win of the season.
