Fargo-Moorhead Snaps 5 Game Skid at Gary, Wins 3-1GARY, IN – For the third night in a row, the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks jumped out to an early lead over the Gary Southshore RailCats. The previous two times Gary came back and won, but tonight the RedHawks prevailed 3-1 in front of 5,470 fans at the U.S. Steel Yard. Joe Harris started on the mound for Fargo-Moorhead. Harris was stellar, going six innings, only allowing one run on two hits with three walks and a pair of strikeouts. He had a no-hitter going through the 5.2 innings, until Ryan Brockett, last night’s hero in extra innings, belted a single that would plate the only run of the game. Tillman Pugh, who walked earlier in the inning, advanced to second and scored easily off of the Brockett base hit. Harris would be relieved in the ninth inning by rookie Tyler Thompson. The West Virginia State University product made his first professional appearance and his debut for the RedHawks on Thursday night, and did not disappoint. Thompson surrendered a leadoff single to Michael Vaughn in the seventh, but then proceeded to retire six straight RailCats. Doug Simunic was pleased with the rookie’s outing, saying, “He’s got all different angles. He’s pretty good. He was a starter in college, I’m going to leave him in that role (setup man), it looks like he might be able to set up for us a little bit better than some others have.” The RedHawks did all their damage in the third frame. They got to Gary starter Chris Cummins early and often in the inning. Frank Salerno lead off the frame with a single to center field, followed by a Drew Muren double that was pushed opposite field and just landed in fair territory. Zach Penprase then stepped to the dish and connected on a high chopper that would go right to first baseman Andy Crosby for the easy putout, but it allowed Salerno to sprint home. Chad Mozingo would step to the plate next and rip a single to left-center scoring Muren easily from third. Joe Bonfe would then reach via hit by pitch, and he would later be driven in by a Joe Dunigan single making it 3-0 Fargo-Moorhead. Mike Nesseth came on in the ninth and retired the side giving him his third save of the year. Joe Harris (1-0) earned his first win of the season while RailCats starter Chris Cummins (3-3) took the loss . With the win, the RedHawks end their five game losing skid and avoid the sweep improving to 11-29 while Gary drops to 20-18. Fargo-Moorhead hops on the bus and heads to St. Paul to battle the league leading Saints in a 4th of July weekend series before returning home for a seven game home stand with the Winnipeg Goldeyes and the Ottawa Champions of the Can-Am League.
