American Association Afternoon Roundup
Published on May 28, 2013 under American Association (AA) News Release
May 28 Afternoon Recap
Grand Prairie 7, Kansas City 5
AirHogs LF Aaron King's three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh broke a 4-4 tie and propelled Grand Prairie to a 7-5 win over Kansas City. Grand Prairie took an early 4-0 lead, thanks in part to solo home runs by DH Brian Myrow and 3B Juan M. Richardson in the first. However, the T-Bones came back with a four-run fourth to knot the score. That score held until King's second home run of the season put the AirHogs back on top for good. Kansas City plated a run in the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate, but LHP Justin Dowdy shut the door on the T-Bones' rally for his second save of the season.
Fargo-Moorhead 6, Sioux Falls 5
With Fargo-Moorhead leading Sioux Falls 5-4 in the sixth, RedHawks DH Jose G. Garcia made a gutsy decision. Garcia took his lead off of third, watched his teammate swing through a pitch and then broke for home on the throw back to the mound. Garcia's risk paid off, as he scored what turned out to be the winning run in a 6-5 RedHawks victory. Garcia had also given Fargo-Moorhead the lead earlier in the inning, when SS Zach Penprase came home on Garcia's RBI single.
Penprase was also a key cog for the RedHawks' offense this afternoon. He finished the day at 3-for-5 with a double an RBI and two runs scored. Along with Penprase, RF Tim Alberts contributed a run with the game's only home run. The solo shot was Alberts' fifth long ball of the season.
