A night after Jair Camargo gave the St. Paul Saints a walk-off victory against the Columbus Clippers, there was more late-game excitement on Friday. This time, it was Columbus celebrating in the end with a 5-3 win in 10 innings.
St. Paul’s DaShawn Keirsey Jr. tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning at CHS Field with a two-run homer.
The game went to extra innings, where the Clippers scored twice in the 10th and held the Saints off the board. Myles Straw had an RBI groundout in the 10th that plated Estevan Florial. Christian Cairo had an infield single that scored another run.
Hobie Harris (3-6) allowed two runs — one earned — in two innings pitched while taking the loss for St. Paul. He struck out four and gave up three hits.
Burnsville native Aaron Rozek started the Saints and gave up two runs in six innings. He allowed five hits and walked two. Columbus opened the scoring in the second with a two-run double by Raynel Delgado.
The Saints got a run back in the second on an RBI single from Chris Williams. Edouard Julien had two hits out of the leadoff spot for St. Paul, stretching his on-base streak to 34 games.
Williams also had a pair of hits. The series, which is split 2-2 after four games, continues Saturday with a 6:37 p.m.
