Walkers news: April 16 --- Rockford 2, St. Louis 1

Record: 5-8, 5th (T/w. Cedar Rapids),3.5 GB Springfield
Justin Verlander limited St. Louis to a single run over six innings and Thomas Burrows kept the River Walkers silent over the final two as Rockford won 2-1 at RFK Stadium (1962).
With the win, the Thunder split the four-game series with the Walkers.

Verlander allowed just two hits in his time on the mound, while striking out six and walking two.
Burrows was just as impressive, giving up just one hit in three innings. He whiffed four River Walkers and didn't walk any of them.
St. Louis actually took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning, when Michael Conforto connected for a lead-off double off Verlander. A ground out moved him to third and he scored on a Nicky Delmonico fly ball.
The Thunder tied it in the bottom half of the inning on a solo homer from Jorge Alforo off St. Louis starting pitcher Danny Duffy.
Rockford scored the game's only other run in the sixth Charlie Blackmon drove it home with a double off Duffy. Amed Rosario scored it after having led off the inning with a single.
