ST. PAUL, MN - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders lost 7-5 to the St. Paul Saints on Wednesday evening at CHS Field. The RailRiders had leads of 1-0 and 5-4 but walked ten batters and fell in the second game of this six-game series.

Bryan De La Cruz gave the RailRiders the 1-0 advantage in the top of the first. Jesus Rodriguez singled and advanced to third on a T.J. Rumfield double. De La Cruz's sac fly brought home Rodriguez for the early lead.

The Saints evened the score against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre starter Anthony DeSclafani in the second on an RBI infield single from DeShawn Keirsey, Jr.

St. Paul sent eight to the plate in the bottom of the third, scoring three to take a 4-1 lead. Payton Eeles singled and scored on a double by former RailRider Mickey Gasper, who later scored on a bases loaded walk. Jose Miranda scored on a fielder's choice to push the lead three.
