Walkers news: July 7 -- Madison 10, St. Louis 6

Record: 48-38, 3rd, 1 GB Springfield
For the second consecutive game, Madison put up double-digit runs on St. Louis scoring 10 runs on 19 hits in a 10-6 win at Busch Stadium (2006).
The victory was the second in a row for the Muskies who claimed the three-game series.
Madison jumped out to a 3-0 lead against River Walkers starting pitcher Ming Xiang over the first 3.5 innings.
But after five innings, it was tied 5-5.
For the second game in a row, St. Louis got burned by its bullpen.
The Muskies took the lead with a run in the top of the seventh.
Tyler Hamilton led off with a double off Frank Jimenez and scored when Trent Rowan singled off Alex Rios.
An inning later, Madison busted it open with four more runs.
Rios gave up three straight singles -- to Mike Laskey, Zach Ebert and Angel Solis -- to open the inning/
Out of right-handed relievers after a 13-6 loss the day before, the Walkers were forced to use lefties against a right-handed hitting lineup.
They paid the price.
Leo Hermosillo acquired via trade earlier in the week, was greeted by an RBI single by Mark Holland.
Hermosillo retired the next two batters, but Dan Hillard tripled with two outs to make it 10-5.
Madison starting pitcher Danny Wright lasted just 4.1 innings, allowing five runs on nine hits. He walked a batter and had no strikeouts.
Marshall Hornby finished the fifth for the Muskies.
After that, it was an inning each for Luis Bahena, Ben Johnson, Brian Stewart and Marshall Larcombe,
Bahena (3-0) earned the win.
Larcombe notched his 11th save.
