Sauget, Ill. - River City did not get a base runner past second until the eighth inning and the Gateway Grizzlies got a two-run homer from former Rascal Chris McClendon en-route to a 5-1 win in the first of 12 games between the cross-town rivals in 2012.

Gateway (11-11) took a 1-0 lead in the first and stretched it to 2-0 in the second before McClendon crushed his second homerun of the season to centerfield for a 4-0 lead.
