Walkers news: August 12 -- Springfield 7, St. Louis 5

Record: 58-56, 4th, 2.5 GB Cedar Rapids
Springfield scored three runs in the fourth inning and four in the seventh and that was enough to carry it to a 7-5 win over St. Louis at Olympic Stadium (Montreal).
With the win, the Prairie Fighters took the final three games of the four-game series. The losses dropped the River Walkers back into fourth place in the National League South Division, 2.5 games behind first-place Cedar Rapids.
Down 2-0, the Fighters took the lead for good with their third-inning outburst against Walkers starting pitcher Yu Darvish.
Trevor Lanarch led off with a single. A Todd Frazier double moved him to third and he scored on a Kevin Pillar sacrifice fly.
Light-hitting catcher John Hicks then sent Frazier across the plate with a two-run homer.
Left-hander Bobby Poyner's inability to get anyone out haunted St. Louis in the seventh as Max Schrock led off the inning with a homer.
J.P. Crawford and Freddie Freeman both drew walks before Lanarch launched a three-run homer.

All four Springfield hitters bat from the left side.
Michael Conforto hit a two-run homer off reliever Tim Hill in the eighth,drawing St. Louis to within 7-4.
In the ninth, Rhys Hoskins' RBI single off Gerson Moreno made it 7-5 and had runners at the corners with one out.
But Moreno got Conforto to hit into a double play to end it.
The Fighters used eight pitchers to get through this one.
Starter James Paxton exited in the second inning with an undisclosed injury.
Matt Barnes (2.1 IP) and Kenyon Middleton (2.0) handled the heaviest loads.
Barnes ended up collecting the win, his first of the season.
Moreno got the final two outs of the eighth and survived the ninth for save No. 27.
