The little scrum-half, who turns 20 next Friday, created tries for Ade Gardner, Lee Gilmour and Paul Wellens and then scored the match-clincher 11 minutes from the end to finally end Warrington's hopes of a first derby win for eight years.
Eastmond, a natural replacement for broken jaw victim Long, also kicked six goals from eight attempts to further lay a claim to the number seven jersey when the former Great Britain scrum-half leaves Knowsley Road at the end of the season.
England prop James Graham made sure of the points for the leaders when he crashed over for his second try of the match and winger Francis Meli added a late score to give Saints a flattering margin of victory.
A barnstorming try from prop forward Garreth Carvell had earlier promised to end Warrington's long wait for a derby win as the home side led 24-18 but once again Saints finished the stronger side to extend their dominance of this fixture.
Celtic Crusaders gave themselves the slightest chance of finishing off the bottom rung of the Super League ladder with a superb 25-12 victory over Salford at Brewery Field.
While Brett Hodgson guided Huddersfield to a vital 32-16 win at stuttering Harlequins as the Giants kept up the pressure at the top of the Super League table.
