Walkers news: Sept. 18 -- Springfield 8, St. Louis 6

Record: 80-66, 1st, 6 GA Quad City
Springfield roughed up the St. Louis bullpen for five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to wipe out a 4-3 deficit, and the Railers went on to win 8-6 at Oracle Park.
The River Walkers had scored three times in the top of the seventh off Springfield reliever T.J. Darr to take the lead.
Elvis Pool started the bottom of the eighth on the mound for St. Louis.
He struck the first batter, Hideaki Taguchi, to open the inning and exited after allowing a single to Billy Salas.
Armando Cintron then took over and it did not go well.
Joseph Hughes, Justin Schneider and Jose Chavez all singled to score a pair of runs and put Springfield in front.
Nick Ruffalo replaced Cintron and was not much better.
He walked Jason Nolan to load the bases.
Matt Beagle grounded out for the second out, Schneider being retired at the plate.
But pinch-hitter Riley Greene followed with a two-run single making it 7-4.
Ken Henry then got the call from the pen.
Carlton Randall greeted him with an RBI single to cap the five-run outburst.
St. Louis did manage a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth.
But closer Jon Santiago came on with runners at second and third to close it out for his 28th save.
Carlos Sanchez made the start for the Railers and allowed one run on four hits over six innings. He struck out three and walked one.
Darr pitched the seventh, giving up the three runs.
Brent Dreher worked a scoreless eighth.
Ozzie Soto started the ninth and got the first out before giving way to Santiago.
