Walkers news: August 27 -- Cedar Rapids 4, St. Louis 3

Record: 66-62, 3rd (Tied/w. Springfield), 5.5 GB Cedar Rapids
Dominic Smith's single off St. Louis relief pitcher Grant Dayton with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Cedar Rapids to a 4-3 win at Shibe Park (1949).
The Golden Grapplers had tied it in the bottom of the eighth on a two-out homer from Alex Bregman off Bobby Poyner.
In the ninth, Phil Maton allowed singles to Wilson Ramos and Trevor Story to open the inning.
A walk to Keon Broxton then loaded the bases with no out, before Victor Robles flew out for the first out of the inning.

Dayton came on and got Terrin Vavra to ground into a force play at the plate.
But Smith followed with his game-winning single.
St. Louis actually led 3-0 after 4.5 innings.
Story drove in the first run of the comeback with a one-out single off Alex Faedo in the fifth inning.
Justin Bour's pinch-hit double to greet Poyner in the seventh helped make it 3-2.
Grapplers starting pitcher Chris Archer went five innings, allowing three runs on five hits.
Four relievers -- Mike Zagurski, Ryan Webb, Jacob Rhame and Danny Grigg -- all worked an inning apiece to close it out.
Grigg earned his fourth win of the season.
