St. Paul starting pitcher Robert Coe tossed a nice game in the Saints 2-1 win over the Laredo Lemurs in game one of the doubleheader. Coe went six solid innings giving up an earned run on two hits and striking out three batters. St. Paul reliever Ryan Rodebaugh allowed a hit in 2/3 of an inning and notched his second save of the season. The Saints scored both of their runs in the second inning on RBI singles by C Vince DiFazio and SS Anthony Phillips. DiFazio and Phillips each went 1-for-3 in the game. Lemurs Manager Pete Incaviglia was tossed out of the game in sixth inning for arguing.
