Another slugfest, but this time the Saints came marching in winners.  Jeferson Morales homered in the first inning to give St. Paul a 1-0 lead.  Christian Franklin led off the bottom of the first with a home run to tie it, and Jonathan Long's RBI single made it 2-1 Iowa.  Iowa added one in the second on a sacrifice fly and scored two in the third on a Ben Cowles double and another sacrifice fly to make it 5-1.

TULSA DRILLERS 7, WICHITA WIND SURGE 6 IN TULSA

Wichita is not enjoying living on Tulsa time, as they dropped another to the Drillers.  It started well, as a Rubel Cespedes RBI single was followed by a two-run homer by Kala'i Rosario, giving Wichita a 3-0 lead.  Damon Keith homered in the second to cut the lead to 3-1, but in the fourth Aaron Sabato hit a two-run homer and Tyler Dearden followed with a solo shot to make it 6-1 Wind Surge.

That was as good as it would get, though.  Jose Ramos homered in the sixth to make it 6-2, and Ramos struck again in the seventh with a grand slam, tying the score.  It stayed tied until the bottom of the ninth, when singles by Taylor Young, Chris Newell, and Yeiner Fernandez produced the deciding run.

Batters:  Aaron Sabato was 4-for-4 with a two-run homer.  Kala'i Rosario was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, his second.  Tyler Dearden was 2-for-4 with a home run.
