Walkers news: May 6 -- St. Louis 14, Evansville 3
Record: 13-18, 7th, 5 GB Kansas City
Miguel Cisneros took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and a shutout into the eighth while St. Louis scored 14 runs on 14 hits in a 14-3 rout of Evansville at Yankee Stadium (1988).
A three-run homer from Nick Shaw off Bosses starting pitcher Lorenzo Cedra in the top of the first inning staked the River Walkers to a 3-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Cisneros didn't allow a base runner until he walked George Phelps with two outs in the fifth.
The Bosses first hit came an inning later when Danny Atkins connected on a lead-off single.
Evansville, which now trailed 11-0, finally scored in the bottom of the eighth when Cisneros had appeared to have tired.
He gave up three hits -- including two with two outs which scored runs, Danny McCauley with a single and Chris McFadden with a double -- before exiting the game.
Victor Rosiles took over and surrendered a single to Sam Muszynski, making it 11-3.
That was the end of the scoring for the Bosses.
Meanwhile, St. Louis had busted the game open with a seven-run top of the seventh.
The inning featured five hits, an error and a bases-loaded walk.
The big hit was a three-run homer from Jose Ramon, which ended the outburst.
Shaw and Daylen Reyes both had RBI singles.
The Walkers would add another run in the eighth.
Joe Allen hit a three-run homer in the ninth to cap the scoring.
