Heavy rain and a determined Batley side have limited Saints to two tries in the first half of the friendly at Langtree Park.
Tommy Makinson crossed in the corner early on, but handling errors saw frustration mount.
Saints finally breached the Batley line again in the closing play of the game with Mark Percival slicing through after good play from Jonny Lomax.
