Walkers news: July 9 -- St. Louis 8, Fort Wayne 5

Record: 49-39, 3rd, 2 GB Springfield
Down 5-0, St. Louis scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and exploded for five more in the seventh as the River Walkers rallied for an 8-5 win over Fort Wayne at Busch Stadium (2006).
The Mad Men scored single runs off River Walkers starter Brad Monroe in the first and third innings.
They then added three more in the top of the sixth when Marco Zurita homered off Monroe.
Fort Wayne starter Tony Rosenberg had shut out the Walkers on two hits over the first five innings.
But St. Louis quickly went to work on him in the sixth beginning with a lead-off homer from Bob Saavedra.
That was the first of four consecutive hits for the Walkers as Ryan Wibbenmeyer followed the homer with a single.
Manuel Coke then doubled to make it 3-2.
A Nick Shaw single moved Coke to third.
It also sent Rosenberg to the shower in favor of Brian Little.
Little retired the first two batters he faced.
But Zach Wenman managed to tie it with a single.
In the seventh, St. Louis sent nine batters to the plate, scoring the five runs on four hits.
Coke provided the big hit with a three-run homer off Oscar Martinez.
Wenman drove in the final two with a single off Craig Burch, giving him three RBIs for the game.
Monroe worked five innings, allowing five runs on nine hits. He struck out seven and walked two.
Making his first appearance since a lengthy injury and AAA rehab, Brett McVey retired all six batters he faced.
Leo Hermosillo pitched a scoreless eighth for St. Louis.
Craig Fritzler earned his 23rd save with a spotless ninth.
