WINNIPEG, MAN. – The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of their Red River rivals with a 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at Blue Cross Park.

Fargo-Moorhead took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when designated hitter Dillon Thomas lined a double to left field that drove in left fielder Jairus Richards.

The RedHawks increased their lead in the second. A balk was charged to Goldeyes starter James Colyer, allowing centre fielder Cole Yearsley to score from third base.

There was no further scoring until the top of the seventh inning. Catcher Tripp Clark hit a two-out double to left field that brought in right fielder Andy Nelson to make it 3-0 Fargo-Moorhead.

Yearsley added a base hit to right with two outs in the eighth that scored first baseman José Sermo and second baseman Colby Wilkerson and gave the RedHawks a five-run advantage.

Winnipeg finally got on the board in the bottom of the inning when centre fielder Noah Marcelo came home on a fielder’s choice off the bat of left fielder Jiandido Tromp that trimmed Fargo-Moorhead’s lead to 5-1.

Kolby Kiser pitched five scoreless innings for the RedHawks, giving up just four hits. He struck out two and walked two. Four relievers combined to limit the Goldeyes to just three hits the rest of the way.

Colyer made a spot start for Winnipeg, working three innings and surrendering two runs – one earned – on two hits. The right-hander struck out six and walked a pair. Weston Lombard, Dominic Hambley (Victoria, B.C.), Quinn Waterhouse, and Willian Suárez appeared out of the bullpen.

Marcelo and second baseman Adam Hall (London, Ont.), with two hits apiece, accounted for four of the Goldeyes’ seven hits on the afternoon. Hall improved his team-leading batting average to .361.

The West Division-leading Kansas City Monarchs are next up for Winnipeg, with a three-game series beginning at Blue Cross Park Monday at 6:30 p.m. In what should be a marquee pitching matchup, the Goldeyes will send lefty Ryo Kohigashi to the mound, while Kansas City is expected to respond with right-hander Ryan García.
