Gary SouthShore 6, Sioux Falls 5 - Box Score

The Gary SouthShore RailCats (4-4) rallied for four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to come back and top the Sioux Falls Canaries 6-5.

The RailCats were trailing 5-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth and after RF Colin Willis reached with a leadoff single, the next two batters went down in order to put the rally in jeopardy. CF Evan Marzilli started the two-out surge with a double to center that plated Willis and then scored himself in the next at bat when SS Marcus Mooney singled. Mooney scored the tying run when 2B Andy DeJesus drew a bases-loaded walk and then 3B Thomas Walraven scored the eventual game winning run when 1B Randy Santiesteban drew another bases-loaded walk one batter later.

For the game, DeJesus, Willis, Marzilli and DH John Price Jr. each had two hits. For the Canaries, 2B Mitch Glasser and DH Jordan Ebert each went 2-for-3 and RF Clint Coulter homered.

The St. Paul Saints blanked the Sioux City Explorers 2-0 on Saturday evening, holding the Explorers to just five hits along the way.

For the game, DH Brady Shoemaker was the only player for either team to have more than one hit as he went 2-for-4. For the Explorers, five different batters each had one hit.

C Christ Conley scored for Milwaukee in the bottom of the inning but that would be the final run of the day for the Milkmen.

Lincoln scored the game's first run when LF Randolph Oduber (3-for-5) singled home 3B Christian Ibarra in the bottom of the first inning. The Railroaders took control of the game in the fifth inning with a rally that began with a sac fly from LF Nick Rotola that plated DH Kenny Meimerstorf.
