FARGO -- The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks snagged the series finale against the Sioux City Explorers, winning 6-5 in front of 3,545 fans at Newman Outdoor Field on Tuesday.
The RedHawks got themselves back into the game with five runs in the fifth, after trailing 5-0. Nic Jackson extended his consecutive on-base streak to 28 games, going 2-for-4 with two clutch hits -- including a two-run home run to tie the game in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh to score Zach Penprase for the go-ahead run. Penprase also went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a stolen base.
