Trey Snyder tied the game 7-7 with a RBI ground out in the 11th inning. Then with one out and runners on second and third, the Cardinals had a mound visit with the rain coming down. The tarp was placed on the field and the game went into a 45 minute delay.
When play resumed, the Cardinals opted to intentionally walk Jeremy Rodriguez to load the bases. Ernie Day then walked Colin Houck to force in Kevin Villavicencio for the winning run.
Houck went 1 for 3 with a double, three walks and three RBI. He was promoted to High-A Brooklyn after the game. Houck departs St. Lucie as the Florida State League leader in extra base hits with 27.
