Record: 7-9, 3rd (Tied/w. Des Moines), 4.5 GB Springfield
Nicky Delmonico hit a two-run pinch-hit home run off Twin Cities relief pitcher Tobias Myers with one out in the top of the ninth inning to help give St. Louis a 3-2 win over Twin Cities at the Metrodome (1997).
With the victory, the River Walkers claimed two of three games in the series.
Tied 1-1, the Snow Cats took the lead in the bottom of the eighth inning after Juan Carlos Arias led off the inning with a single off Walkers relief pitcher Grant Dayton and scored on a double by Bradley Zimmer off Phil Maton.
But in the ninth, Adeinny Hechavarria reached on a one-out single off Myers.

Delmonico followed with a 393-foot blast over the wall in right field.
St. Louis starting pitcher Aaron Nola probably turned in his best outing of the season, allowing just one run on four hits in six innings.
The Walkers used six more pitchers to finish it out.

Recording the final out of the eighth inning earned Bobby Poyner his first win of the season.
Tommy Kahnle walked the lead-off batter in the ninth, but got the next three to earn his second save.
