St. Paul 4, Fargo-Moorhead 2Box 

A four-run third inning was all the Saints would need en route to victory on Wednesday evening. The first two runs of the inning scored on an error with C Dwight Childs trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. With SS Jared McDonald at the plate, a wild pitch scored Childs. 1B Henry Wrigley capped off the inning with an RBI single.

The Saints only had three hits all night, but still pulled out the win. Fargo only had three hits of their own. DH Sawyer Carroll had a double and an RBI.

RHP Jeff Shields (pictured) struck out five and allowed only a single unearned run in eight innings for the Saints. The save went to RHP Dan Sattler, who survived an adventurous ninth with three RedHawks reaching base.
