Omaha defeated St. Paul 7-5 in the first of the six-game series Tuesday night in Nebraska. The Saints had a steady start, up 4-0 at the end of the third inning, but the Storm Chasers’ strong seven-run punch in the fourth and fifth innings proved too much.

Jose Miranda landed three of the Saints’ seven hits for the evening, and got two RBI. St. Paul had both of the game’s home runs, from Matt Wallner in the first inning and Jeferson Morales in the second.

Cory Lewis started for the Saints, allowing three runs, all of them earned, on five hits over 3.2 innings. The Saints pitchers kept Omaha’s Top 10 prospect Jac Caglianone to 0-5.
