Emphatically bouncing back from their first loss of the season, the St Kilda Saints once again relied upon a complete team effort to earn the victory.
Scoreless entering the fourth frame, the Saints plated three runs in the fourth, two in the fifth, and four in the sixth to give St Kilda all the runs they would need.
The Hunters answered back with single tallies in the seventh and eighth before scoring twice in the bottom of the ninth to provide the final margin.
Solid as always, Jarrod MacEachern did his job as the St Kilda starter. Playing shortstop for the first time this season, Mariano Favia was stellar; ditto for fellow left side infielder Todd Clarkson.
Bryan Livett headlined the hitters, using his speed to collect three hits.
