After dropping the first two games of a home series against Des Moines, the River Walkers won their second in a row, this one in thrilling fashion.
Powered by six shutout innings from Alex Cobb, St. Louis took a 1-0 lead into the top of the ninth inning only to have Jordan Luplow hit his first home of the season with two outs off Keone Kela to even the game.
But the Walkers avoided extra innings in the bottom of the inning, when Adeiny Hecchavarria led off with a single off Chris Rusin. A one-out double by Lorenzo Cain moved Heccavarria to third.
He scored on a two-out single by Andrew Benintendi off Mauricio Cabrera to win it.
