Saints Snag 10-7 Win
The St. Paul Saints weathered a fine game by Border City designated hitter Aleksander Kraja to upend the Buck$, 10-7, at Legion Field. Kraja was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Luis Salazar finished to wrap up his 13th save. Despite the win, the Saints still have a pitiful 37-101 record.

St. Paul used the timely hitting of Dan Phillips to seize the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Saints on top, 10-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Nervous? No," said Phillips. "It was my time to shine."
