Saints trail 18-16 at Widnes at half time.
Sia a Soliola responded to tries from Rhys Hanbury and Willie Isa, but when Alex Gerrard powered in a rout looked likely.
But Mose Masoe scored one and set another up for Paul Wellens to close the gap at the break.
Under-strength Saints still have a big job on their hands.
