Five-run fifth powers RedHawks past Milkmen

Dylan Engel

FARGO – Dillon Thomas went 4-for-4 and blasted a home run Monday night to help the RedHawks to a 7-6 win over the Milwaukee Milkmen in front of 2,663 fans at Newman Outdoor Field. 

Five runs in the fifth inning put Fargo-Moorhead (20-21) in front for good, and the home side held off a late Milwaukee rally to hang on for a win.  

Jake Dykhoff got the win with 5.2 innings pitched and two earned runs allowed on six hits after relieving Angelo Cabral’s opening role. 

Lamar Sparks, Hunter Clanin – in his RedHawks debut – and Aidan Byrne each added two hits of their own in the win. 

Fargo-Moorhead and Milwaukee will continue their series on Tuesday night at 7:02 p.m. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a free RedHawks t-shirt thanks to CI Sport.
