Series Start With St.Paul Has RedHawks in Pursuit of Win No. 1,000![]() Complete release attached The Series
The two teams atop the North Division standings meet at Newman Outdoor Field Tuesday, as the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks host the St. Paul Saints at 7:02 p.m. for the first time in 2013. The RedHawks are two wins away from reaching 1,000 in club history and look to achieve the mark during the six-game homestand this week. Fargo-Moorhead won three out of four in Sioux City during the recent road trip and has won eight of its last 11. St. Paul will try to cut into the RedHawks’ 5.5 game lead in the division standings starting today, as Saints’ Anthony Claggett (6-2, 3.34) is expected to take the mound against Fargo-Moorhead’s Paul Burnside (5-5, 5.09).
The Opponent
St. Paul enters tonight’s game second in the North standings and recently split a four-game series against Grand Prairie. George Tsamis is in his 11th season managing the Saints and led the club to a championship in 2004. In the first series between the Saints and ‘Hawks in June, the Saints took two of three, including a walk-off win on June 11 on a home run by Brad Boyer. St. Paul has the edge in recent years, with the RedHawks going 5-8 in 2011 and 4-9 in 2012 against St. Paul. Fargo-Moorhead has an all-time record of 71-66 over St. Paul. Both teams competed against one another in the Northern League, but didn’t match up from 2006-2010 when St. Paul moved to the American Association.
