Record: 63-60, 4th, 4 GB Kansas City
St. Louis closer Tommy Kahnle allowed all four batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth inning to reach base, helping Quad City to score a pair of runs and rally for a 6-5 win at Fenway Park (1970).
With the win, Quad City was able to grab the third game of the series after dropping the first two.
Down 5-4, Mark Canha greeted Kahnle with a lead-off double to open the bottom of the ninth.
The next batter, Wil Myers, hit a ball back to Kahnle and he promptly pulled first baseman Rhys Hoskins off the bag for an error and put runners at first and second.
With the St. Louis bullpen out of arms, Kahnle was stuck out there and walked Marcus Wilson to load the bases.
Anthony Alford followed with a single, scoring Canha and Myers to give the Thunder the victory.
It marked the sixth blown save of the season for Kahnle.
Midway through the game, Quad City grabbed a 2-1 lead after Scott Kingery hit a two-run homer off River Walkers starting pitcher Alex Faedo in the bottom of the fifth.

That lead grew to 4-1 in the sixth when Kingery slapped a two-run single off reliever Reyes Moronta.
But St. Louis tied it with a single swing of the bat in the seventh, Rhys Hoskins knocking a three-run homer off Q-C starter Mike Montgomery.
Montgomery went 6.2 innings, allowing four runs on six hits.
With its bullpen running on fumes, Evan Steele was forced to close it out and did a fine job tossing 2.1 innings during which he allowed one run on three hits.
