The home crowd had a good time watching the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams get after it.

Behind a fine performance from Justin Morris, the St. Louis Rams knocked off the New Orleans Saints, 9-2. Morris slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice for the Rams. Eric Roush, the winner, is now 4-4. He struck out 7 and walked 3 over 8 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 4 hits.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Morris told the St. Louis Bulletin.

The Rams saw their record improve to 26-23.
