Shawn McGill hit two two-run homers and Matt Maloney homered once as the Saltdogs finished a sweep of St. Paul with a 6-3 win Sunday at Haymarket Park.

After the Saints took a 1-0 lead in the first inning, Jonny Kaplan tied it with an RBI groudout in the home half of the inning. After Dustin Yount walked, McGill hit a two-run home run to put Lincoln ahead.

Maloney hit a solo shot in the third to give Lincoln a 4-1 lead. Later that same inning, McGill hit his second two-run blast.
