Record: 40-23, 1st, 3.5 GA Des Moines
Angel Tiburcio took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and a shutout into the ninth before exiting as St. Louis downed Springfield 7-2 at Oracle Park (2000).
The River Walkers already led by the time the Prairie Fighters got their first hit -- a two-out single from Alex Otero in the bottom of the seventh.
Going into the ninth with 90 pitches, Tiburcio just seemed to run out of gas.
He allowed one-out singles to Lucius Fox and Riley Greene, before Mathew Lugo doubled to score two and finally break up the shutout.
Zac Lowther replaced Tiburcio and retired the next two batters to end it.
In his 8.1 innings, Tiburcio allowed the two runs on four hits. He struck out 14 and walked nary a batter.
The Walkers went up 2-0 almost right away when Andrew Benintendi hit a two-run homer off Prairie Fighters starting pitcher Jared Kelley.
St. Louis added its next two runs in the fifth.
Alek Thomas drove in the first run with a double. Ozzie Albes then scored Thomas when he tripled.
A three-run homer from Vidal Brujan off reliever Andrew Perez in the seventh bumped the lead to 7-0.
