FARGO, ND – The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (50-46) scored three runs over the second and third innings and held on to defeat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 3-1 Thursday evening at Newman Outdoor Field.
Fargo-Moorhead took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. Third baseman Matt Kroon and shortstop Tucupita Marcano recorded consecutive two-out singles before catcher Juan Fernández and second baseman Brian Fuentes followed with run-scoring base hits.
First baseman José Sermo added a two-out solo home run to right field in the third, increasing the RedHawks' advantage to 3-0.
Winnipeg (53-43) put at least two runners aboard in each inning from the third through the sixth but were unable to score.
The Goldeyes broke through in the seventh. Shortstop Ray-Patrick Didder lined a single to left field, stole second base, and advanced to third on a throwing error by Fernández before designated hitter Noah Marcelo grounded out to bring him home and make it 3-1.
Starting right-hander Landen Bourassa (2-4) allowed three runs on six hits over six innings. He did not walk a batter and struck out six. James Colyer retired the side in order in the seventh and struck out one, while Quinn Waterhouse worked a perfect eighth with one strikeout.
RedHawks left-hander Parker Harm (6-2) scattered seven hits over six scoreless innings. He walked four and struck out four. Jon Beymer surrendered one unearned run in the seventh, Mason Pelio kept Winnipeg off the scoreboard in the eighth, and Tyler Jeans (S, 16) worked a scoreless ninth.
Left fielder Jiandido Tromp went three-for-four, while catcher Kevin García and Didder recorded two hits apiece. Didder stole three bases and scored Winnipeg's only run.
Marcelo's seventh-inning run batted in raised his season total to 90, while his fourth-inning double gave him 117 hits.
