Walkers news: Oct. 3 -- St. Louis 6, Kansas City 5

Record: 95-65, 1st, 8 GA Springfield; NL South clinched; 2 GB Chicago for best NL record
Alek Thomas connected on a two-out single off Kansas City relief pitcher Cam Bedrosian to score Larry Ernesto to give St. Louis a 6-5 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
Ernesto's run was the second of the inning for the River Walkers.
Tanner Kohlhepp scored the first after he led off with a single off Chaz Roe and crossed the plate when Ernesto doubled.
The Pit Masters had battered St. Louis starter Aaron Civale for four runs in the top of the first and another in the second to go up 5-1.
But Civale had held Kansas City into the sixth inning, and the Walkers bullpen did the same the rest of the way.
Luis Palomo worked the sixth inning. Nick Lodolo handled the seventh.
Adam Wenger pitched a scoreless eighth and got the first out of the ninth.
Tim Hill (4-3) finished the ninth and would earn the win.
The Walkers had pulled to within 5-4 by scoring three runs in the third.
Carlos Vidal drove in final two of them with his second homer of the game off Masters starter Ben Harris.

Alek Thomas tallied the first. He had led off with a double and scored on a Johan Camargo single.
