FARGO, ND (8/11/17) --- An error can cost you dearly. The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks learned that lesson the hard way Friday night, losing to the Gary RailCats 4-2.
Despite falling behind 1-0 in the top of the first, RedHawks starter Will Solomon settled in to hold Gary scoreless for the next two innings.
The game was ultimately decided in the top of the fourth when Solomon made an errant throw to first with two outs, allowing Andy Dejesus to reach first and Frank Martinez to score from third. Gary managed to add two more runs after escaping the would be third out, incluiding one off of an RBI single by Chase Harris.
Trever Adams drove in a run in the fourth and another in the sixth to get the game to its final score.
The Gary bullpen got a hefty dose of work after starter Dan Minor lasted just three innings. Despite giving up both runs, Andy Roberts picked up the win for the RailCats after filling in for Minor. Carlos Pinales pitched 1.2 scoreless innings and Jorge De Leon pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth to pick up the save.
