The Saints built an early two run advantage in the second inning on Dan Swain's two RBI single to left. The base hit drove in Brett Connors and Phil Madonna for Swain's team leading fourth and fifth RBI's of the season.

In the bottom of the ninth, Jacob Watcher singled to right and advanced to second on a throwing error by the right fielder. Phillip Watcher advanced to third and would eventually score on the throwing error.

Jason Smith came to the plate and recorded an RBI single down the right field line that scored Watcher to give the Bulldogs the win.
