Record: 50-40, 3rd, 3 GB Springfield
Fort Wayne jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning and never trailed in defeating St. Louis 4-2 at Busch Stadium (2006).
The win allowed the Mad Men to split the four-game series with the River Walkers.
St. Louis starting pitcher Miguel Cisneros got himself in trouble to start that second inning by hitting Ben Thompson with a pitch and issuing a walk to David Kurnick.
Cisneros struck out Rich Contreras for the first out.
But Marco Zurita followed with a double to score Thompson.
Kurnick then scored on a Dave Soria ground out.
An RBI single from Mark Herman off Mad Men starting pitcher Kyle Freeman in the third drew the Walkers to within 2-1.
But Fort Wayne answered with a run in the fourth.
Thompson led off with a single off Cisneros and scored on a Contreras fly ball after he had stolen second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Mario Villa.
St. Louis drew back to within 3-2 in the fifth on back-to-back doubles by Ryan Wibbenmeyer and Manuel Coke.
The Mad Men, however, got the final run of the game in the seventh.
Soria and pinch-hitter Jose Ramirez opened the inning with back-to-back singles off reliever Alex Rios.
Soria would score when Danny Gutierrez doubled off Frank Jimenez with two outs.
Freeman (6-3) lasted just five innings, allowing two runs on eight hits. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter.
Brian Little pitched a scoreless sixth inning for Fort Wayne.
Nick Tracy handled the seventh and got the first out of the eighth.
Former Walker Scott Rissler closed out the eighth and took care of the ninth for his third save.
