Walkers news: June 15 -- Quad City 5, St. Louis 3, Game 1

Record: 38-24, 1st, 4.5 GA Cedar Rapids
Down 3-1, Quad City scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and went on to defeat St. Louis 5-3 at Fenway Park (1976).
After falling behind 1-0, the River Walkers scored twice in the fourth inning -- Rick Scott (ground out) and Ricky Liriano (single) with RBIs -- and once in the fifth -- Nathaniel Dixon drew a lead-off walk and scored on a Jose Segura sac fly -- all charged to Thunder starter Bob Rios to go up 3-1.
But St. Louis starter Izzy San Juan got in trouble right away in the bottom of the fifth, allowing a lead-off double to relief pitcher Connor Seabold.
A passed ball moved Seabold to third, and he scored when the next batter, Cesar Silva, hit another double.
Jacob Gonzalez followed with a single to put runners at the corners, and end San Juan's time on the mound.
Andres Hernandez took over and saw QC almost immediately tie it.
The Thunder pulled off a rare double steal -- first I've seen in a LOOOONG time -- with Jacob Gonzalez swiping second while Silva crossed the plate.
A wild throw by Liriano, the catcher, also allowed Gonzalez to reach third,
He promptly scored when Nick Gonzalez hit a double.
The Thunder added an insurance run in the eighth when Bobby Wescott led off with a single off Argenis Batista.
A wild pitch moved Wescott to second, and a ground out planted him on third.
Pinch-hitter Alek Thomas, a long-time Walker, then drove him home with a groundout.
Rios pitched just four innings, allowing three runs on five hits.
Seabold (1-1) earned the win after two scoreless innings.
Sam Stoutenborough also worked two scoreless frames.
The ninth belonged to Craig Fritzler, who walked two batters but didn't allow a run to earn his 15th save.
