Walkers news: April 1 -- Des Moines 4, St. Louis 0

Record: 1-2, 4th (Tied/w. Cedar Rapids), 2 GB Des Moines
Juan Amezquita and a pair of relievers combined on a four-hit shutout as Des Moines whitewashed St. Louis at Busch Stadium (1997).
Rafael Devers put the Harvesters ahead early with a two-run homer off River Walkers starter Angel Tiburcio in the top of the first inning.
That was all Amezquita and company would need, although the Harvesters would add two insurance runs.
Glenn Santiago reaching on an error by Walkers shortstop Jean Carmona to open the third and later scoring on a throwing error by third baseman Fernando Tatis Jr.
St. Louis would commit four errors in the game.
Foley scored again in the sixth, leading off with a triple off Tiburcio and scoring when Garret Frechette singled off reliever Nick Lodolo.
Amezquita allowed three hits in six innings, while striking out eight and walking three.
Jon Olsen authored two scoreless innings.
Albert Hernandez was perfect in the ninth.
