Simon Says Walk-Off, RedHawks Win 7-6 Randall Simon belted a two-run walk-off home run The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks finished the Gary SouthShore RailCats in dramatic fashion as 1B Randall Simon drilled a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 7-6 victory on Wednesday night before a sell-out crowd of 4,531 at Newman Outdoor Field
Simon hit a second inning single and scored the first run of the game on 2B Carlo Cota’s double to the left-center gap for an early 1-0 Fargo-Moorhead lead.
RailCats C Brett Wallace slapped a single through the left side to leadoff the RailCats third inning. With a crack of the bat, 3B Chris Carrara singled through the legs of RedHawks starter LHP Broc Coffman and LF Mike Massaro hit an RBI single to tie it at 1-1. With nobody out, Carrara and Massaro double stole second and third. With runners in scoring position, 2B Eric McNamee hit a seeing-eye single to score Carrara and make it 2-1 for the away team. SS Jay Pecci hit another RBI single to score Massaro and cap the RailCats three-run third inning.
The RedHawks crept within one run on RF Jeremiah Piepkorn’s solo shot to dead center in the home half of the fourth inning. RedHawks C Kole Zimmerman drew a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Wallace. LF Mike Coles doubled off the center-field wall to score Zimmerman from third and tie it at 3-3. With two outs in the top of the fifth inning, RedHawks 3B Yurendell DeCaster hit his league-leading 13th home run of the season and Piepkorn hit his second solo shot of the game to give the RedHawks a 5-3 lead.
With two outs and men at second and third, RailCats 1B Steve Haake hit a three-run bomb on a first-pitch fastball from RedHawks reliever Elvys Quezada to give the RailCats the game-lasting 6-5 lead.
