Game 1

Clarkson's Joe Fraser hit a two-run single in the first inning, Brad Pearson notched an RBI double in the second and Cam Bando homered to left in the third for the visiting Golden Knights for a 4-0 advantage through the first three innings.

After Clarkson added another in the top of the fifth, the Saints answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame to spoil Ted Wilson's shutout bit.

Mic Regan worked a walk and Taylor Digilio singled through the right side to put two runners on with two outs for sophomore Jeremy Gerringer. Gerringer dropped a bloop single into shallow right field to score Regan and cut the deficit to 5-1, but that would be all the Saints would get against Wilson.

In the bottom of the fifth, Michael LeFevre scored on a sacrifice fly to deep right field by Robson to extended the Saints lead to 3-0.

Robson also drove in the Saints fourth run with an RBI double to right that plated Frank in the bottom of the seventh.
