After the Mud Hens opened the scoring in the third inning, the Saints went to work with the bats. Williams hit a solo home run in the fourth to tie the game.

St. Paul scored five times in the sixth with RBI singles by Dalton Shuffield and Rylan Bannon before Williams drove in the final run with a sacrifice fly.
