Walkers news: April 13: Cincinnati 11, St. Louis 6

Record: 4-7, 6th, 4 GB Cedar Rapids
Down 6-3, Cincinnati battered the St. Louis bullpen for three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and five in the seventh as the River Sharks rolled to an 11-6 win at Riverfront Stadium (1984).
Quiang Chang's first two home runs of the season -- solo shots, both off Cincy starter Trevor Criswell in the first and sixth innings -- helped the River Walkers establish that 6-3 lead.
Jose Roman also homered for St. Louis, a solo homer off Doug Cline in the s sixth to make it 6-2.
Having chased St. Louis starter Ming Xiang after five innings, he allowed three runs on four hits and walked five while throwing 93 pitches, the Sharks went to town against the Walkers bullpen beginning in the sixth.
Drew Bowser led off the three-run inning with a single off Chris Willett.
He moved to third on a Kerry Fackelman double.
Tom Alosio drove in the inning's first run with a fly ball to left.
Leo Hermosillo replaced Willett and struck out Cory Vallie for the second out.
But David Johnson tied it when he belted an 0-2 pitch 370 feet over the wall in left field for his second homer of the season.
Hermosillo returned to the mound and didn't bring much with him.
After a fly out to open the inning, Troy Heller singled followed by a Jonathan Hodges double which put runners at second and third.
Fackelman, who last season played for St. Louis, then broke the tie with a single, scoring Heller.
Alex Rios replaced Hermosillo.
All he did was allow the four of the first five batters he faced to reach base.
Alosio opened things up the double, scoring Hodges to make it 8-6.
Pinch-hitter Alex Otero was given an intentional walk.
David Johnson flew out for the second out, with Aloisio advancing to third.
Felix Rivas scored Aloisio with a single.
Joe Neyer connected on another single -- the sixth hit of the inning -- scoring Otero to make it 11-6.
Criswell lasted five innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. He struck out two and walked three.
Cline pitched the sixth inning for Cincy, allowing the final two St. Louis' runs.
David Hinojosa (2-0) earned the win after pitching a scoreless seventh.
Manny Fajardo handled the eighth inning and recorded the first two outs of the ninth.
With two runners on thanks to errors, Justin Roberson got pinch-hitter Nick Shaw to ground out to end the game.
