Walkers news: August 21 -- St. Louis 10, Grand Rapids 5

Record: 73-49, 2nd, 1.5 GB Des Moines
Trailing 5-4, St. Louis scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning and went on for a 10-5 win over Grand Rapids at the Polo Grounds (1923).
Down 2-0, the Traders took the lead with three runs in the bottom of the third inning off River Walkers starting pitcher Jesse McNaboe.
After St. Louis tied it with a Nathaniel Dixon homer off Grand Rapids starting pitcher Gerardo Guerra in the bottom of the fifth, the Traders went up 5-3 on a two-run homer off McNaboe in the bottom of the inning.
But the Walkers would not quit, again facing a Grand Rapids bullpen which has allowed a ton of runs over the last two games.
St. Louis scored once in the sixth -- an RBI single from Ricky Liriano off Dylan Cloonan -- to make it 5-4.
The Walkers than took the lead with a three-spot in the seventh.
Dixon drew a lead-off walk from Dan Bouwman and later scored when Alex Greene hit into a fielder's choice to tie it.
Jean Carmona later hit a two-run homer off Rhett Daniel to put St. Louis ahead 7-5.
The damage continued in the eighth, when Jovan Gill hit a lead-off homer off Trey Benton, making it 8-5.
Gill drove in another run in the ninth, with a RBI single in the ninth off Cristian Sanchez, while Liriano plated another with a single of his own, also off Sanchez.
McNaboe (15-6) wasn't very good, allowing five runs on nine hits in six innings, but still came out of it with his MBL-leading 15th victory.
Ricky Cisneros retired all nine of the batters he faced over the final three innings for his fourth save.
