Josh Allen doubled to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Chesny Young, lifting the Saints to a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Dogs on Sunday at CHS Field.

The Saints led 4-2 going into the ninth inning, but the Dogs scored two tying runs in the top of the ninth — but left the bases loaded.

Jabari Henry's two-run double with two outs in the bottom of the eighth broke a 2-2 tie for the Saints. Henry also had a sacrifice fly in the Saints' two-run first inning.
