Walkers news: April 17 -- Indianapolis 7, St. Louis 6, 10 innings
Record: 4-9, 6th, 4 GB Kansas City
Jorge Millan drew a one-out walk in the bottom of the 10th inning and later scored on a Brandon LeBree fly ball to give Indianapolis a 7-6 win over St. Louis at the Astrodome (1995).
The win gave the Racers a split of the four-game series.
After drawing a walk from River Walkers reliever Brett McVey, Milan moved to second when Rich Calhoun reached on an error by second baseman Ryan Wibbenmeyer.
Millan then stole third setting him up to score on LeBree's fly ball.
Down 6-4 after the Racers scored four times in the bottom of the eighth against their bullpen, Nick Jackson hit a two-run homer off Frank Jimenez while Maximilliano Minelli allowed a run on a bases-loaded walk and a Ramon Montes sac fly, St. Louis tied it with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth.
Mark Herman drove them both in with a double off Ramiro Canales.
Indy starting pitcher Danny Munos went five innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out five and walked two.
Chris Lutz gave up a pair of runs on an Alex Boychuk homer in the sixth.
Paul Weaver (0.1 IP) and Aaron Kirkaldy (0.1) combined to pitch a scoreless seventh for the Racers.
After that, it was an inning apiece from Nick Thiel, Canales and Chris Conway to close out the game.
Conway (1-0) earned his first win of the season.
