The second inning provided life for Santa Fe when Jonathan Logsdon had a rbi single to left field that plated Jarod Cande home. Directly after, Caleb Stafford had a rbi single that slipped past the Falcons and sent Brock Edge home. An error by the Falcon’s pitcher allowed Isaiah Perry to run home and then Logsdon was able to get home after Garrett Mathes was walked to first with bases loaded, tying the game 4-4.

The inning finished off with another error by the Falcons leading to Stafford running home and a two rbi blast from Edge to send another two Saints home. The Saints finished off a dominant second inning with seven runs in five hits, taking the lead 7-4.

The Saints had their final score of the evening in the bottom of the sixth inning with a solo home run by Cande to put the icing on the cake.
