Record: 39-30, 1st, 3 GA Springfield
Alex Ochoa allowed one run over the first 6.1 innings and got plenty of support from his offense as Madison routed St. Louis 10-1 at Comiskey Park (1969).
Ochoa (4-4) allowed one run on seven hits (all singles) while striking out three and walking one.
The lone run he allowed came in the top of the seventh inning, by which time the Muskies led 5-0.
Madison jumped on top in the bottom of the second when it put its first three hitters on base against River Walkers starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe.
With the bases loaded following two singles and a walk, John McCaskey made it 1-0 when his ground ball scored Dan Hillard.
Hillard, who like McCaskey came up through the St. Louis minor-league system, had drawn a walk to open the inning
Ochoa scored Mark Holland with a deep fly ball for the inning's second run.
The Madison lead reached 3-0 in the fifth.
Nelson Becerra led off with a single off McNaboe and scored two batters later on a Zach Ebert single.
A two-run double by McCaskey off McNaboe in the sixth made it 5-0.
The Muskies would add two more runs in the seventh (RBI singles by Adam Macklin and David Kinney off reliever Ron Cox) and three in the eighth (Miguel Ortiz with a two-run single off Scott Rissler and a run-scoring fly ball by Mark Holland) to make it a rout.
Marshall Hornby replaced Ochoa in the sixth and got the final two outs of that inning.
He also pitched a scoreless eighth.
Robert Chacon kept the Walkers off the scoreboard in the ninth.
