Stop us if you've heard this before: The Saints beat the Bats.
St. Paul extended its franchise-record winning streak against a single team to nine games with a 9-4 besting of visiting Louisville on a balmy Saturday night at CHS Field.
After a mostly quiet first inning, the Saints exploded for five runs in the second inning and four more in the third to take a 9-0 lead on the slump-shouldered Bats.
Cody Morissette got the fireworks started with an inside-the-park three-run homer on a flare to straightaway center that slipped under the glove of a diving outfielder Will Benson and didn't stop until it hit the wall. Morissette sprinted around the bases as Hendry Mendez and Kala'i Rosario both crossed home plate. The second baseman himself slide home as the throw went wayward to put the hosts up 3-0.
Ben Ross followed with a more traditional over-the-wall homer to center to score himself and Walker Jenkins as St. Paul took a 5-0 lead into the third. But they weren't done yet.
