Darian Ingram started in the circle for the Saints and had things going through the first three innings, before the Eagles had two runs in the fourth went ahead with three runs in the fifth.

The Saints' best chance to get back into it came in the sixth, advancing runners to second and third base, but the Eagles ended the threat with a K.

Ingram threw five innings, allowing seven hits, five runs (four earned), and a walk while striking out a season-high ten batters. Kaylie Araujo tossed a scoreless inning in relief.
