Record: 15-8, 1st, 2 GA Springfield
Pinch-hitter Danny Ocampo tied it 1-1 with a two-out inside-the-park home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning and Evansville added on four more runs in the 10th, as the Bosses defeated St. Louis 4-1 at Busch Stadium (2006).
River Walkers rookie starter Ming Xiang took a no-hitter into the eighth inning when Chris McFadden doubled for Evansville's first hit.
Xiang, who had allowed just one baserunner, on a walk, in the first eight inning then retired the first two hitters for the Bosses in the ninth.
But Ocampo smacked a shot into the right-field corner and rounded the bases before the Walkers could get the ball to the plate.
It was Ocampo's first home run of the season.
Evansville then unloaded on the St. Louis bullpen in the 10th, scoring three times on four hits.
Jeff Waldron led off the inning with a double off Walkers lefty Greg Sones, who had not allowed an earned run in first 12 appearances of the season.
Sones retired the next two but pinch-hitter Sean Thomas connected on the second double of the inning to put Evansville in front.
Lee Oakley was then given an intentional walk.
It backfired when Tommy Gardner connected on an RBI single.
Scott Rissler then got the mound call for St. Louis.
Brian Vargo greeted him with a single as the Bosses lead reached 4-1.
Evansville starting pitcher Bill Van Gieson went five innings, allowing one run on six hits. He struck out one and walked two.
The game's only run prior to the ninth came in the bottom of the fifth, when Marcos Francis and Jackson Miller opened the inning with consecutive doubles off Van Gieson.
Four relievers combined to finish the game for Evansville.
Ricky Cisneros pitched two scoreless innings.
After that, it was Stephon Harrison, Gaspare Cattaneo and Michael Bowen for an inning apiece.
Cattaneo (1-0) earned his first win of the season.
Bowen now has 11 saves.
