Cade Westbrook gave the Saints some insurance in the eighth inning, scoring on an Eagles error after reaching with a pinch hit single to start the inning.
Campion was replaced by Colt Mink in the eighth inning and Mink turned it over to Tyler Jones for the final five outs. Jones worked out of a jam in the eighth, allowing just one run (credited to Mink), and struck out back to back hitters with the tying run on base.
In the ninth, Jones shut the door on Polk State with a 1-2-3 inning, earning his first save of the season.
Andrew Eyster picked up where he left off last week, going 3-for-5, Haydn Cano was 2-for-5 with an important RBI, and Mikey Navarrete was 2-for-5.
