Charle Rosario pitched longer than he ever had on the way to 3-0 win at US Steel Yard. The Gary SouthShore RailCats’ (10-11) ace allowed just four hits in a complete game shutout to prevent a sweep by the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (11-8). 

Rosario (3-1) shined in the sun during a day game in front of 2,888 fans for his first career complete game. He used 111 pitches and six strikeouts to blank the RedHawks. Richie Morowski (1-1) is charged with the loss for Fargo after he gave up two runs in 4.1 innings. 

The RailCats, who had just 11 hits in the first two games of the series, gave Rosario run support with eight hits. They broke through for the first time in the fourth inning off of base hits by Jose Sermo and Alex Crosby. Sermo came across for the run after an error by second baseman Ryan Pineda who was trying to turn a double play.

Gary SouthShore added another run the next inning when Matt Hibbert scored on a Tillman Pugh base hit. The RedHawks hit Matt Hibbert with a pitch twice in the game.

The offense was able to provide one more insurance run in the eighth off a Jeremy Hamilton walk, Crosby single and Jose Gonzalez sacrifice fly.

Gonzalez threw out a runner for the 13^th time this season, improving his caught stealing percentage to 50 percent. Crosby and Gonzalez had multi-hit days for the Cats with Gonzalez adding two RBIs.

The RedHawks finish 4-2 on their roadtrip and will come back to Newman Outdoor Field for a game against their North Division rivals, the Winnepeg Goldeyes. The game is slated for a 7:02 p.m. start.
