Nick Shaw led off with a double off Lighting starting pitcher Gregg Krawczyk.
He scored on a one-out single by Marcos Francis.
The other two St. Louis' runs came in the sixth.
With Krawczyk still on the mound, Manuel Coke reached on an error by first baseman David Blanton to open the inning.
He scored when Shaw followed with a triple.
Mark Waterson followed with a single, scoring Shaw to make it 3-0.
