FARGO, ND – The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped a 4-3 decision to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in their 2026 spring debut at Newman Outdoor Field Monday evening. The pre-season contest was called after five innings owing to the unseasonably cold temperatures and windy conditions. Winnipeg opened the scoring in the third inning when rookie catcher Raphaël Pelletier homered down the right field line, giving the Goldeyes a 1-0 lead. The RedHawks tied the game in the bottom of the inning on a single by catcher Juan Fernández that brought right fielder Andy Nelson in to score. Pelletier struck again in the fifth, driving in left fielder Keshawn Lynch with a single that made the score Winnipeg 2, Fargo-Moorhead 1. Pelletier then scored on centre fielder Noah Marcelo ’s single that increased the Goldeyes’ lead to 3-1. In the home half of what would be the final inning, Fargo-Moorhead scored three runs without the benefit of a hit. Fernández notched his second run batted in of the evening with a sacrifice fly that drove in third baseman Aidan Byrne. Nelson came in on a wild pitch to tie the game at 3-3. The RedHawks went ahead 4-3 on another sacrifice fly, this one by first baseman José Sermo.

A member of Canada’s Junior National Team from 2015 to 2017, Hall also participated in the 2015 WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup. “Bringing Adam back is huge news for us.
