The Saints would regain the lead at 2-1 in the sixth on a solo home run from leadoff hitter Adam Frost. However, that would not last long as Sioux City tied at 2-2 on a RBI double by 1B Kris Sanchez in the eighth inning and scored the go ahead run in the ninth on a wild pitch. Sanchez and 2B Mike Murphy each had two hits to pace the Sioux City offense.
