Walkers news: May 8 -- St. Louis 13, Fort Wayne 2
Record: 18-12, 1st, 0.5 GA Kansas City
St. Louis scored five times in the top of the first inning to set the tone, and the River Walkers rolled to a 13-2 win over Fort Wayne at Ebbets Field (1948).
St. Louis opened the game with three straight singles off Mad Men starting pitcher Chandler Champlain, with Jose Segura driving in Jose Ramirez with the first run of the game.
Rick Scott later scored a pair of runs with a double.
Pitcher Lenyn Crisp plated the final two with another double.
Thanks to a two-run homer from Jose Segura in the second inning off reliever Pablo Ocha, the Walkers stretched their lead to 8-1.
Segura added a second homer -- this one a two-run shot off Nick Stell in the fourth -- to make it 10-1.
The Walkers were not done in that inning, as Jordan Groshans connected on an RBI double, and relief pitcher Ricky Cisneros plated one with a single to make it 12-1.
On the mound, Crisp only lasted 1.1 innings even though his team was up 8-1.
Crisp walked five batters in that short span that he was on the mound, and the Walkers decided to get him out of there before the Mad Men got back into it.
Cisneros (3-1) cleaned up the mess in the bottom of the second and got the game to the sixth.
Andres Hernandez and Argenis Batista both pitched two innings to finish off the game.
