Walkers news: April 27 -- St. Louis 10, Springfield 2

Record: 10-10, 4th, 2.5 GB Quad City
St. Louis answered a two-run top of the first inning by Springfield by four in the bottom half of the inning and never trailed again in a 10-2 win at Busch Stadium (1997).
The Prairie Fighters' Trevor Larnach smacked a two-run homer off River Walkers starting pitcher Luiz Gohara in the top of the first, giving Springfield its early lead.
The Walkers responded big time in the bottom half against Springfield starter Nathan Karns.
They put five of their first six batters on bases -- three singles, one walk and one hit by pitch -- Rhys Hoskins had an RBI single in that mix while Nicky Delmonico plated one when taking one for the team.
Adeiny Hechavarria chased home the last two with a two-run single.
St. Louis added two more runs in the sixth when pinch-hitter Brad Miller knocked his first homer of the season, a two-run shot, off reliever Eduardo Paredes.
The Walkers turned it into a rout with a four-run seventh. Nicky Delmonico plated two with a single and Tucker Barnhart a pair with his first homer of the season.
Gohara pitched into the sixth inning to earn his second win of the season. The left-hander allowed two runs on five hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out three and walked three.
Reyes Moronta got out of a jam in the sixth inning by getting the final two outs.
Omar Garcia, Grant Dayton and John Curtiss all worked a scoreless inning apiece to end it.
