Walsall moved up to third place in League Two with a resounding win against Grimsby at Blundell Park.
Jamille Matt, Jamie Jellis, Nathan Lowe and Danny Johnson did the damage for the visitors, with all five goals in the match coming in the second half.
Grimsby substitute Donovan Wilson was on target in a losing cause.
Chances were few and far between in the opening 45 minutes, but the Saddlers did bundle one into the net through Lowe on the stroke of half-time, only for that effort to be ruled out for a shove in the Grimsby area.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 56th minute when Matt rose highest to make it 1-0 from close range and a stunning second from Jellis doubled the lead in the 69th minute, the midfielder firing home a dipping half-volley after Grimsby defender Lewis Cass teed him up with a loose clearance.
Lowe effectively put the game to bed with a third Walsall goal in the 74th minute, but there was time for substitutes Wilson and Johnson to make a mark at either end in the closing stages.
