A below-par Saracens stepped up in the second half to beat Premiership rivals Northampton 29-20 in their European Champions Cup quarter-final on Saturday. Saracens extended their unbeaten record in the Champions Cup but were guilty of indiscipline and careless mistakes allowing Northampton to take a 10-6 lead into the break.Saracens had romped through the group stage with six wins,claiming a try-scoring bonus point in all but one of them, and were firm favourites against an injury-ridden Northampton side. It took a 69th minute try from Chris Ashton to push a team parading six of Englands Grand Slam winners clear, the wing switching on the afterburners and picking a clever line to cross in the corner. Billy Vunipola on the charge for Saracens Ashtons try lifted his tally since completing a 10-week ban for making contact with the eye area of Ulsters Luke Marshall to three in two games.On the other wing, Chris Wyles plundered a late opportunist try to assure victory, while Owen Farrell finished with a 19-point haul that saw him complete every shot at goal.The result has set up an all-Premiership semi-final against Wasps, who were last-gasp winners over Exeter earlier in the afternoon, at the Madejski Stadium on April 23.Northampton were squeezed into submission during the final quarter, but the fact they had pushed the tournament favourites so hard was an achievement in itself given their injury crisis.Eight front line players numbering 207 caps - among them Dylan Hartley, Tom Wood and George North - had been lost to the treatment room yet they were magnificent with backs-rows Teimana Harrison and Ben Nutley outstanding. Teimana Harrison of Northampton breaks with the ball against Saracens For all their injury problems, it was Northampton who left 11 points begging during an impressive start that saw the sin-binning of Saracens openside Will Fraser for a late tackle on Ben Foden.Stephen Myler pushed two simple penalties wide of the uprights before wing Jamie Elliott blundered by dropping the ball over the line when all he had to do was touch down. In the same move, Nutley failed to put Kahn Fotualii through an obvious hole.The try eventually came in the 16th minute, however, when Harrison easily rounded opposite number Billy Vunipola, broke down the right touchline before feeding Ken Pisi for the try. Maro Itoje picked up the man of the match award as Saracens beat Northampton Farrell replied with a penalty but Northampton remained in control with a mazy run from Elliott launching an attack that finished when Myler steered the ball between the posts.Billy Vunipola ran over Harrison from a scrum and Petrus Du Plessis blasted a hole as the favourites made a bulldozing start to the second half, but Taylors try was ruled out after Fraser had blocked Luther Burrell.With a strong wind at their backs, Saracens were happy to kick down field but Northamptons mix of intelligence and determination kept them in the hunt against the odds.Myler and Farrell swapped penalties to leave Saints 13-12 ahead before Courtney Lawes flattened England team-mate Farrell as a nerve-shredding final quarter counted down.It was Saracens who found the extra gear when it was needed, creating the gap for Ashton to dash over before Wyles brought a sense of relief to Allianz Park. Lawes late try ensured the scoreline was kinder to Saints.

"And that was just a clear signal and why it was time to make those changes.ST. LOUIS -- Matt Adams might want to have his fathers visit last longer. Adams homered for the third straight game -- all with his father in attendance -- and Matt Holliday also went deep, helping the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-2 victory and series sweep Sunday over the Washington Nationals. Adams gave St. Louis a 2-0 lead in the second inning with a two-run shot on an 0-2 pitch, his sixth homer of the season. Adams father, Jamie, has been visiting from Pennsylvania on Fathers Day weekend. "Unfortunately, hes going to go home," Adams said. There were going to meet before Adams father left for the airport. "He might give me a big hug and start crying," Adams said. "Hes an emotional guy." Adams has homered in all three games since coming off the disabled list with a torn calf muscle. Holliday put St. Louis up 3-0 in the third with his fifth home run. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny never doubted his sluggers would start to hit the long ball after a slow start. The Cardinals are last in the National League in homers. "Weve been saying for months now these guys have done that," Matheny said. "Its not a surprise. Its not like these guys have never hit any home runs in their lives. I think that everybody just thought that we were either brainwashing them not to hit home runs or else they all lost it collectively and both of them are ridiculous." Last year, Adams had 17 homers in 108 games and Holliday had 22 in 141 games. "We knew that our power didnt go anywhere," Adams said. "We knew the type of hitters we are. We go out there on daily basis and grind through our at-bats." Jaime Garcia (3-0) pitched seven innings, allowing five hits and a run for St. Louis. He struck out six and walked two. Trevor Rosenthal got the final out for his 20th save. Washingtons Doug Fister (5-2) had his five-start winning streak snapped. He pitched six innings, allowing seven hits and four runs. "The two home runs were the biggest things for me," Fister said. "I need to find a better effort." St. Louis has won 12 of the last 14 regular-season meetings with Washington. The Nationals are 2-18 in the newest version of Busch Stadium. "We have a bitter taste in our mouths going home," Nationals outfielder Scott Hairston said. &"I think we definitely didnt play up to our capabilities.dddddddddddd" The Nationals loaded the bases in three innings, stranded 10 runners and scored on two bases loaded walks. The timely hit didnt come for Washington. "Its the ebbs and flows of the game," Washington manager Matt Williams said. "Its that time of the year where heavy legs start to set in a little bit." Garcia pitched out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the second. Third baseman Matt Carpenter caught Sandy Leons grounder on a short hop and threw out Hairston at home. Garcia then struck out Fister. Jayson Werth drew a bases loaded walk in the fifth to cut the lead to 3-1. "I didnt have my best stuff today but at the same time you go out there and you compete," Garcia said. "You battle and you keep your team in the game." St. Louis got the run back in the fifth, when Kolton Wong snapped an 0-for-16 skid with a leadoff triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Holliday, who has 999 RBIs in his career. Craig doubled home Holliday in the seventh for a 5-1 lead. Rosenthal walked pinch-hitter Adam LaRoche in the ninth with the bases loaded to make it 5-2.
