St. John's (32-13, 12-3 MFC) tied the score with a couple of runs in the fifth on two hits and two walks and took the lead with a three run eighth inning.  The Vikings relievers shut down the Saints the rest of the way for the three run win.

Santa Fe had seven hits in all, led by a 2-for-4 performance from Jarred Mederos, including two doubles.

Kevin Martin started on the hill for SF and tossed five innings.  Derek Vail and Clayton Wagner pitched the final three innings with Vail taking the loss.
