RedHawks Rally Late to Edge Goldeyes
WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (23-25) dropped their second straight one-run contest, falling 4–3 to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (25-25) Thursday evening at Blue Cross Park.
Fargo-Moorhead struck first in the top of the second inning when Aidan Byrne delivered an RBI single to score Alec Olund and give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
Winnipeg responded in the fourth. Matthew Warkentin ripped a double – one of three on the game – into the left-centre field gap to score Roby Enríquez and tie the game. Keshawn Lynch followed with a sharp single to plate Warkentin and give the Goldeyes a 2-1 edge.
The home side extended the lead to 3-1 in the fifth on a Ramón Bramasco sacrifice fly that brought home Andy Armstrong.
But the RedHawks clawed back in the seventh. A bunt single from Byrne, paired with a throwing error by Bramasco, allowed Derek Maiben to score. Later in the frame, Juan Fernández tied the game 3-3 with an RBI single to score Byrne.
In the ninth, it was Byrne once again making things happen—this time scoring on a go-ahead RBI single by Dillon Thomas, flipped just inside the left field line to put Fargo-Moorhead ahead 4-3.
Goldeyes starter Jesse Galindo took a no-decision, tossing 5.1 innings and allowing just one run on three hits with three walks and a season-high six strikeouts.
Derrick Cherry, Ryder Yakel, and Ben Onyshko combined for the final 3.2 innings in relief. Yakel (L, 1-2) was tagged with the loss after allowing a run on three hits over two innings.
RedHawks starter Orlando Rodríguez also took a no-decision, surrendering three runs (two earned) over six innings with three walks and four strikeouts. Colten Davis (W, 2-6) picked up the win with 1.2 innings of scoreless relief, while Garrett Alexander (S, 4) earned his the save by retiring the only batter he faced to close out the game.
