Walkers news: July 18 -- Milwaukee 5, St. Louis 4

Record: 43-52, 5th, 6 GB Cedar Rapids
Tied 2-2 Milwaukee scored three times in the top of the fifth inning and held on for a 5-4 win over St. Louis at Busch Stadium (2006).
The victory allowed the Crushers from being swept in the three-game series.
Milwaukee had jumped in front in the top of the first with a pair of runs off River Walkers starting pitcher Juan Farias.
Farias hit a batter and threw a wild pitch which allowed a run to score.
An issue he would have again in the fifth.
St. Louis got a two-run homer from Mark Waterson off Crushers starter Alexis Yanez in the bottom of the second to tie the game.
Jose Flores got things going for Milwaukee in the fifth with a lead-off double.
Yanez then got down a bunt to move Flores to third.
Flores scored when Mike Lamoureux reached on an error by first baseman Nick Shaw.
Farias then hit Angel Ontiveros with a pitch.
After getting a fly out by Jose Morillo, Farias was called for a balk moving the runners to second and third.
Joseph Hughes was given an intentional walk.
But Farias followed that with an unintentional walk to Jim Carr to score Lamoureux with the inning's second run.
Chris Willett replaced Farias but with Dylan Crews at the plate, and an 0-2 count, he threw a wild pitch allowing Ontiveros to score, making it 5-2.
St. Louis cut that deficit to a run in the bottom of the fifth.
Manuel Coke homered for the third straight game, this one a solo shot of Wayne Rotar, and Waterson collected his third RBI of the game with a two-out single.
But that would be the end of the scoring.
Yanez lasted just four innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He struck out three. He also walked three.
Rotar (3-0) got the win after working a scoreless fifth and getting the first two outs of the sixth, when he was charged with two runs.
Justin Buck got the final out of the sixth.
After that, it was an inning apiece from Jorge Rodriguez, Caleb Walker and Danny Araya.
Araya collected his 22nd save of the season.
