Record: 4-2, 1st (Tied/w. Des Moines and Springfield); 1 GA Quad City
Trailing 6-4, St. Louis scored three times in the bottom of the seventh inning and went on to defeat Peoria 7-6 and complete a three-game sweep of Busch Stadium (2006).
The River Walkers went right to work against Rivermen reliever Gil Meier to start the bottom of the seventh, putting their first four batters on base.
Bob Saavedra set things in motion with a lead-off double.
Marcos Francis drew a walk.
Manuel Coke then tied it with a triple.
Nick Shaw scored Coke with a single, his 16th RBI of the opening week of the season.
Shaw had driven in a pair of runs earlier in the game -- collecting an RBI single in the first inning and a run-scoring double in the third.
The Rivermen jumped out to a 4-1, scoring twice in both the first and third innings.
Shaw's RBI double was part of a three-run third where the Walkers tied the game.
Manuel Coke plated the inning's other two runs with a double off Peoria starting pitcher Brad Monroe.
The Rivermen went back in front with single runs in the fifth -- Roberto Guerra with an RBI single off St. Louis starter Josh McDonald -- and sixth -- Wes Cohen with a run-scoring sac fly off Nick Ruffalo.
McDonald went six innings, but it was rough allowing five runs on six hits.
Scott Rissler starter the seventh but gave up what would be Peoria's final run without recording an out.
Nick Ruffalo (1-0) wrapped up the seventh. He would earn the win.
Rookie Maximillliano Minelli got into trouble in the eighth, but somehow scrambled out of it without allowing a run.
Armando Cintron set the Rivermen down in order in the ninth for his first save.
