A three-run third inning carried St. Paul to a series-wrapping victory in Omaha as the Saints held on late to top the Storm Chasers 4-2 on Sunday night, ending their two-game losing skid.
Ending his team's 20-inning scoreless drought, Kyler Fedko plated Kaelen Culpepper and Matt Wallner with an RBI double in the top of the third, before coming home himself on Hendry Mendez's RBI double two batters later.
Omaha countered with single runs in the third and eighth, before a Kendez sacrifice fly drove home Culpepper with an insurance run in the top of the ninth.
It was a policy that St. Paul nearly had to cash in as the Storm Chasers' Alejo Lopez hit a two-out triple in his team's final turn at the plate against reliever Julian Merryweather. Fedko suffered an injury in the left field corner while attempting to field Lopez's hit and had to be carted from the field.
There was no immediate update as to Fedko's condition.
